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 introduce several families of $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ UV boundary conditions in 3d $\mathcal N=4$ gauge theories and study their IR images in sigma-models to the Higgs and Coulomb branches. In the presence of Omega deformations, a UV…
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…

We study D=3 field theories on the D3-branes stretched between two NS5-branes with NS B-field background. The theory is a noncommutative gauge theory. The mirror symmetry and S-duality of the theory are discussed. A new feature is that the…
We consider a non-supersymmetric Hanany-Witten type IIB brane configuration that realises a three dimensional USp(2N) gauge theory with quarks in the two-index antisymmetric representation and SO(4) flavour symmetry. Using type IIB…
We study the dynamics of a large class of N=1 quiver theories, geometrically realized by type IIB D-brane probes wrapping cycles of local Calabi-Yau threefolds. These include N=2 (affine) A-D-E quiver theories deformed by superpotential…
Recently, mirror symmetry is derived as T-duality applied to gauge systems that flow to non-linear sigma models. We present some of its applications to study quantum geometry involving D-branes. In particular, we show that one can employ…
Four dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ Argyres-Douglas theories have been recently conjectured to be described by $\mathcal{N}=1$ Lagrangian theories. Such models, once reduced to 3d, should be mirror dual to Lagrangian $\mathcal{N}=4$ theories.…
We propose dual pairs of $\mathcal{N}=(0,4)$ half-BPS boundary conditions for 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ Abelian gauge theories related to mirror symmetry and S-duality by showing the matching of boundary 't Hooft anomalies and supersymmetric…
The Argyres-Douglas (AD) theories of type $(D_n,D_m)$, realized by type IIB geometrical engineering on a single hypersurface singularity, are studied. We analyze their conformal manifolds and propose the 3d mirror theories of all theories…
We propose an Abelian mirror dual for the $\mathcal{N}=2$ SQCD$_3$ that we obtain as real mass deformation of known $\mathcal{N}=4$ mirror pairs. We match the superconformal index and the $\mathbf{S}^3_b$ partition function, discuss the…
We present nontrivial examples of d=3 gauge theories with sixteen and eight supercharges which are infrared dual at special points in the moduli space. This duality is distinct from mirror symmetry. To demonstrate duality we construct the…
