Flows between Dualities for 3d Chern-Simons Theories

Understand

We study Seiberg-like dualities for 3d N=2 theories with flavors in fundamental and adjoint representations.

• The recent results of Intriligator and Seiberg provide a derivation of an Aharony duality from a Giveon-Kutasov duality.
• We extend their result to the case of more general theories involving various masses for fundamental quarks and adjoint fields.
• By fine tuning the vev of a scalar field and using various identifications between gauge groups and their singlet duals, we derive several examples of Aharony dualities.
