【 摘 要 】

Abstract We consider interesting Seiberg dualities for Usp gauge theories with an antisymmetric, 8 fundamentals and no superpotential. We reduce to three dimensions and systematically analyze deformations triggered by real and complex masses, reaching a plethora of N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 dualities for U(N) and Usp(2N) gauge theories, possibly with monopole superpotentials and Chern-Simons interactions. Special cases of these “exceptional dualities” are: supersymmetry enhancement dualities, “duality appetizers” and many known dualities relating rank-1 gauge groups. The 4d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 Usp dualities provide a unified perspective on many curious phenomena of 3d and 4d gauge theories with four supercharges. Finally, we propose a free mirror for A 2N Argyres-Douglas, with its related adjoint-Usp(2N) duality, and we construct a mirror for adjoint-U(N), with an arbitrary number flavors and zero superpotential.
