Hilbert Series and Superconformal Indices of the Improved Bifundamentals

We explore the structure of the moduli space of vacua of Improved Bifundamentals, a recently introduced class of superconformal field theories (SCFTs). Utilising the Hilbert Series, computed as a specific limit of the Superconformal Index, we establish that the moduli spaces of these theories are simple algebraic varieties, presenting a single connected component for three of the families studied (FT_N , FC_N , FH_N ) and a main branch plus simple branches generated by singlets for the remaining families (FM_N , FE_N).

Universal Planar Abelian Duals for 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ Unitary CS-SQCD

We provide an explicit planar Abelian dual for three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ $U(N)_k$ SQCD with $F$ fundamental chiral multiplets. This construction covers the entire $(N, F, k)$ parameter space (provided supersymmetry is unbroken), offering a unified framework for the infrared physics of these theories. Our results generalize a recently discovered class of chiral-planar dualities, which were previously limited to the locus $F = 2|k| + 2N$, which is a mass deformation of $\mathcal{N}=4$ mirror symmetry plus a restricted set of additional mass deformations. By developing a systematic algorithm to track the flow of the dual theory under generic mass deformations, we establish the planar Abelian quiver not merely as a specific dual description, but as a universal tool for analyzing 3d gauge dynamics.

A Chiral-Planar dualization algorithm for 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ Chern-Simons-matter theories

We show that a broad class of three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ chiral Chern-Simons gauge theories admit an abelian and planar dual description. These chiral-planar dualities emerge by performing real mass deformations on known $\mathcal{N}=4$ mirror pairs, using the $\mathcal{N}=2^*$ setup to flow to chiral theories on the electric side. While identifying the correct dual vacuum is subtle due to the rich structure of the Coulomb branch, we develop a mirror dualization algorithm that streamlines this process and systematically provides the abelian-planar duals of chiral quivers.

Planar Abelian Duals of Chern-Simons QCD

We propose novel infrared dualities connecting 2+1 dimensional non-Abelian gauge theories (with unitary or special unitary gauge groups) to Abelian gauge theories. The dual Abelian theories are characterized by a planar quiver structure, where interactions are fully encoded in the quiver diagram. These dualities are rooted in supersymmetric mirror symmetry and display the characteristic exchange of mesonic and monopole operators. Furthermore, our proposed dualities exhibit features of bosonization: the addition of a fermionic (bosonic) flavor to the non-Abelian side corresponds to the addition of a bosonic (fermionic) column in the dual planar quiver.

Planar Abelian Mirror Duals of $\mathcal{N}=2$ SQCD$_3$

We propose an Abelian mirror dual for the $\mathcal{N}=2$ SQCD$_3$ that we obtain as real mass deformation of known $\mathcal{N}=4$ mirror pairs. We match the superconformal index and the $\mathbf{S}^3_b$ partition function, discuss the agreement of the moduli spaces, and provide a map of the gauge invariant operators and the global symmetries as evidence of this duality.

Volume complexity of dS bubbles

In the framework of the static patch approach to de Sitter holography introduced in [arXiv:2109.14104], the growth of holographic complexity has a hyperfast behaviour, which leads to a divergence in a finite time. This is very different from the AdS spacetime, where instead the complexity rate asymptotically reaches a constant value. We study holographic volume complexity in a class of asymptotically AdS geometries which include de Sitter bubbles in their interior. With the exception of the static bubble case, the complexity obtained from the volume of the smooth extremal surfaces which are anchored just to the AdS boundary has a similar behaviour to the AdS case, because it asymptotically grows linearly with time. The static bubble configuration has a zero complexity rate and corresponds to a discontinuous behaviour, which resembles a first order phase transition. If instead we consider extremal surfaces which are anchored at both the AdS boundary and the de Sitter stretched horizon, we find that complexity growth is hyperfast, as in the de Sitter case.
