SIMIS Seminar on Field Theory and String Theory: Duality of 3d N=4 theories with 1-form symmetry

Speaker: Satoshi Nawata (Fudan University)

Abstract: The study of 3d mirror symmetry has greatly enhanced our understanding of various aspects of 3d N=4 theories. In this talk, starting with known mirror pairs of 3d N=4 quiver gauge theories and gauging discrete subgroups of the flavour or topological symmetry, I discuss new mirror pairs with non-trivial 1-form symmetry. By providing explicit quiver descriptions of these theories, I specify their symmetries and the mirror maps between them. If the time permits, I will also explain the duality between unitary and orthosymplectic quiver theories with non-trivial 1-form symmetry, using magnetic quiver techniques.
