Chiral dualities for SQCD3 with D-type superpotential

Abstract

Abstract We study dualities for 3d U(Nc)kchiral SQCD with Dn+2-type superpotential, with n odd. We give a complete classification of such dualities in terms of the number of fundamentals and anti-fundamentals and the Chern-Simons level. The classification is obtained by real mass and Higgs flows from non-chiral dualities and we check the consistency of the new non-chiral dualities at the level of the partition function. We also check that the complex phases appearing in the integral identities between the partition functions are consistent with the contact terms computed as quantum corrections to the effective Chern-Simons level. The SU(Nc)k cases are recovered by gauging the topological symmetry from the U(Nc) dualities. Finally, we consider the case of USp(2Nc)2k with two antisymmetric tensors and Dn+2-type superpotential.
