Many examples of low-energy dualities have been found in supersymmetric gauge theories with four supercharges, both in four and in three space-time dimensions. In these dualities, two theories that are different at high energies have the same low-energy limit. In this paper we clarify the relation between the dualities in four and in three dimensions. We show that every four dimensional duality gives rise to a three dimensional duality between theories that are similar, but not identical, to the dimensional reductions of the four dimensional dual gauge theories to three dimensions. From these specific three dimensional dualities one can flow to many other low-energy dualities, including known three dimensional dualities and many new ones. We discuss in detail the case of three dimensional SU(N_c) supersymmetric QCD theories, showing how to derive new duals for these theories from the four dimensional duality.

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A massive deformation of the T[SU(N)] theory is identified as the 3d SCFT realizing the RG-wall and half-BPS boundaries in 4d N=2 SU(N) SYM.

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5

    Blow-up equation prefactors encode cubic 1-form self-anomalies and mixed anomalies of 5d N=1 SCFTs, deciding 2-group vs mixed anomaly structure.

    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.

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    New dualities are proposed between 3d N=2 USp(2N) CS-SQCD and Abelian planar quivers, obtained via real-mass deformations of N=4 mirrors and supported by matching partition functions, indices, and operator spectra.
