ABJM Mirrors and a Duality of Dualities
نویسندگان
چکیده
We clarify how mirror symmetry acts on 3d theories with N = 2, 3 or 4 supersymmetries and non-abelian Chern-Simons terms and then construct many new examples. We identify a new duality, geometric duality, that allows us to generate large families of gauge theories, with and without Chern-Simons term, that all flow to the same conformal field theory in the infrared. In particular, we find an interesting duality of dualities: a pair of theories related via mirror symmetry can be mapped, via geometric duality, into a pair of gauge theories related by Seiberg duality. This network of dualities can be understood as the simple result that all of these theories are different realizations of one and the same system in M-theory.

STONE DUALITY FOR R0-ALGEBRAS WITH INTERNAL STATES
$Rsb{0}$-algebras, which were proved to be equivalent to Esteva and Godo's NM-algebras modelled by Fodor's nilpotent minimum t-norm, are the equivalent algebraic semantics of the left-continuous t-norm based fuzzy logic firstly introduced by Guo-jun Wang in the mid 1990s.In this paper, we first establish a Stone duality for the category of MV-skeletons of $Rsb{0}$-algebras and the category of t...
متن کاملTopological Mirrors and Quantum Rings
Aspects of duality and mirror symmetry in string theory are discussed. We emphasize, through examples, the importance of loop spaces for a deeper understanding of the geometrical origin of dualities in string theory. Moreover we show that mirror symmetry can be reformulated in very simple terms as the statement of equivalence of two classes of topological theories: Topological sigma models and ...
متن کاملSome Order dualities in Logic, Games and Choices
We first present the concept of duality appearing in order theory, i.e. the notions of dual isomorphism and of Galois connection. Then we describe two fundamental dualities, the duality extension/intention associated with a binary relation between two sets, and the duality between implicational systems and closure systems. Finally we present two "concrete" dualities occuring in social choice an...
متن کاملDiagram Automorphisms and Rank-level Duality
We study the effect of diagram automorphisms on rank-level duality. We create new symplectic rank-level dualities from T. Abe’s symplectic rank-level duality on genus zero smooth curves with marked points and chosen coordinates. We also show that ranklevel dualities for the pair sl(r), sl(s) in genus 0 arising from representation theory can also be obtained from the parabolic strange dualities ...
متن کاملDualities in Supersymmetric Field Theories
These lectures briefly introduce dualities in four-dimensional quantum field theory, and summarize results found in supersymmetric field theories. The first lecture describes physical aspects of electric-magnetic (EM), strong-weak coupling (S), and infrared (IR) dualities. The second lecture focuses on results and conjectures concerning S-duality in N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories. The third ...
