Description

Dualities between two-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories can be obtained by compactifying dual four-dimensional theories on $S^2$. In this talk, we discuss how the statements of these dualities can be refined by taking into account the global structure of the gauge groups. In particular, we focus on the Intriligator–Seiberg duality between supersymmetric QCDs with SO and Spin gauge groups.
