Abstract

We propose some new infra-red dualities for 2d2d N=(0,2)\mathcal{N}=(0,2) theories. The first one relates a USp(2N)USp(2N) gauge theory with one antisymmetric chiral, four fundamental chirals and NN Fermi singlets to a Landau-Ginzburg model of NN Fermi and 6N6N chiral fields with cubic interactions. The second one relates SU(2)SU(2) linear quiver gauge theories of arbitrary length N1N-1 with the addition of NN Fermi singlets for any non-negative integer NN. They can be understood as a generalization of the duality between an SU(2)SU(2) gauge theory with four fundamental chirals and a Landau-Ginzburg model of one Fermi and six chirals with a cubic interaction. We derive these dualities from already known 4d4d N=1\mathcal{N}=1 dualities by compactifications on S2\mathbb{S}^2 with suitable topological twists and we further test them by matching anomalies and elliptic genera. We also show how to derive them by iterative applications of some more fundamental dualities, in analogy with similar derivations for parent dualities in three and four dimensions.
