3d Self-Dualities
Abstract
We investigate self-dualities in three-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories. The electric and magnetic theories share the same gauge group. The examples include SU(2N), SO(7) and SO(8) with various matter contents. The duality exchanges the role of the baryon and Coulomb branch operators in some examples. In other examples, the Coulomb branch operator becomes an elementary field on the dual side. These self-dualities in turn teach us a correct quantum structure of the Coulomb moduli space of vacua. Some dualities show symmetry enhancement.
