We present evidence for new, non-trivial RG fixed points with dual magnetic descriptions in $N=1$ supersymmetric $SP(N_c)$ and $SO(N_c)$ gauge theories. The $SP(N_c)$ case involves matter $X$ in the antisymmetric tensor representation and $N_f$ flavors of quarks $Q$ in the fundamental representation. The $SO(N_c)$ case involves matter $X$ in the symmetric tensor representation and $N_f$ flavors of quarks $Q$ in the vector representation of $SO(N_c)$. Perturbing these theories by superpotentials $W(X)$, we find a variety of interesting RG fixed points with dual descriptions. The duality in these theories is similar to that found by Kutasov and by Kutasov and Schwimmer in $SU(N_c)$ with adjoint $X$ and $N_f$ quarks in the fundamental.

  1. Overlooking 3d dualities from mezzanines and balconies

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    New 3d dualities are obtained by T-duality reduction of 4d mezzanine and balcony models, with partition function matching after double scaling limit and a proof of required confining dualities via tensor deconfinement.
