Chiral 3d SU(3) SQCD and N=2 mirror duality


Abstract in English

Recently a very interesting three-dimensional $mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric theory with $SU(3)$ global symmetry was discussed by several authors. We denote this model by $T_x$. This was conjectured to have two dual descriptions, one with explicit supersymmetry and emergent flavor symmetry and the other with explicit flavor symmetry and emergent supersymmetry. We discuss a third description of the model which has both flavor symmetry and supersymmetry manifest. We then investigate models which can be constructed by using $T_x$ as a building block gauging the global symmetry and paying special attention to the global structure of the gauge group. We conjecture several cases of $mathcal{N}=2$ mirror dualities involving such constructions with the dual being either a simple $mathcal{N}=2$ Wess-Zumino model or a discrete gauging thereof.
