We show that there are two different dualities of two dimensional gauge theories with N=(2,2) supersymmetry. One is basically a consequence of 3d mirror symmetry. The non-linear sigma model with Calabi-Yau target space on the Higgs branch…

We study pairs of 4d N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories that share the same vacuum moduli space and the same chiral field content, encoded by a common quiver, but differ in their superpotentials. These theories arise as worldvolume theories…

We use localization techniques to study duality in N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories in three dimensions. Specifically, we consider a duality due to Aharony involving unitary and symplectic gauge groups, which is similar to Seiberg…

We propose a new class of infrared dualities relating three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ $USp(2N)$ Chern--Simons SQCD to planar Abelian quiver gauge theories. These dual descriptions are constructed via real mass deformations of established…

We review some of the properties of 3d N=4 theories obtained by dimensionally reducing theories of class S. We study 3d partition functions, and certain limits thereof, for such theories, and the properties implied for these by 3d mirror…

Recently a very interesting three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric theory with $SU(3)$ global symmetry was discussed by several authors. We denote this model by $T_x$. This was conjectured to have two dual descriptions, one with…

This paper presents new developments in the study of 3d mirror symmetry and the phase structure of Abelian gauge theories. Previous works identified 3d mirrors for a specific class of theories, termed ``simple" Abelian theories. This work…
