We propose matching pairs of half-BPS boundary conditions related by IR dualities of 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauge theories. From these matching pairs we construct duality interfaces. We test our proposals by anomaly matching and the computation of supersymmetric indices. Examples include basic abelian dualities, level-rank dualities, and Aharony dualities.

  1. Fermionic extensions of $W$-algebras via 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ gauge theories with a boundary

    hep-th 2023-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Constructs fermionic extensions of W-algebras W^{-N+1}(sl_N, f_sub) via BRST cohomology in 3d N=4 abelian gauge theories and explicitly computes the N=3 case as an extension of the Bershadsky-Polyakov algebra.

  2. Quarter-indices for basic ortho-symplectic corners

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Exact quarter-indices for basic ortho-symplectic corners in N=4 SYM are obtained in closed form, proven equal under duality, and interpreted as vacuum characters of BCD W-algebras and osp(1|2N) VOAs.

  3. Bridging 4D QFTs and 2D VOAs via 3D high-temperature EFTs

    hep-th 2024-09 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    High-temperature limits on higher sheets of the superconformal index for (A1,A2n) Argyres-Douglas theories yield Gang-Kim-Stubbs 3d N=2 theories whose boundaries support Virasoro minimal model VOAs M(2,2n+3) and assoc...

  4. Boundary lines and Askey-Wilson type moments

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Wilson line defect half-indices for 3d N=2 theories with confining boundaries are exactly Askey-Wilson type moments, obtained via dual vortex defects and effective spin shifts in the index computation.
