Seiberg-like duality in three dimensions for orthogonal gauge groups

چکیده
We propose a duality for N = 2 d = 3 Chern-Simons gauge theories with orthogonal gauge groups and matter in the vector representation. This duality generalizes levelrank duality for pure Chern-Simons gauge theories with orthogonal gauge groups and is reminiscent of Seiberg duality in four dimensions. We perform extensive checks by comparing partition functions of theories related by dualities. We also determine the conformal dimensions of fields using Z-extremization.

Seiberg duality in three dimensions
We analyze three dimensional gauge theories with Sp gauge group. We find that in some regime the theory should be described in terms of a dual theory, very much in the spirit of Seiberg duality in four dimensions. This duality does not coincide with mirror symmetry. ∗Work supported by DFG
متن کاملNon-Abelian Conifold Transitions and N = 4 Dualities in Three Dimensions
We show how Higgs mechanism for non-abelian N = 2 gauge theories in four dimensions is geometrically realized in the context of type II strings as transitions among compactifications of Calabi-Yau threefolds. We use this result and T-duality of a further compacitification on a circle to derive N = 4, d = 3 dual field theories. This reduces dualities for N = 4 gauge systems in three dimensions t...
متن کاملDuality in non-commutative gauge theories as a non-perturbative Seiberg–Witten map
We study the equivalence/duality between various non-commutative gauge models at the classical and quantum level. The duality is realised by a linear Seiberg–Witten-like map. The infinitesimal form of this map is analysed in more details.
متن کاملExact Solutions of Exceptional Gauge Theories from Toric Geometry
We derive four dimensional gauge theories with exceptional groups F4, E8, E7, and E7 with matter, by starting from the duality between the heterotic string on K3 and Ftheory on a elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau 3-fold. This configuration is compactified to four dimensions on a torus, and by employing toric geometry, we compute the type IIB mirrors of the Calabi-Yaus of the type IIA string theor...

Duality, which relates the strongly coupled behavior of one gauge theory to the weakly coupled behavior of another, has emerged as a key idea in the understanding of the nonperturbative dynamics of supersymmetric gauge theories. Most of the work in this context has focused on gauge theories with simple gauge groups. One would like to understand theories with non-simple groups in more detail: i....
