Abstract

Abstract: In this paper, we study the reduction of four-dimensional Seiberg duality to three dimensions from a brane perspective. We reproduce the nonperturbative dynamics of three-dimensional field theory via a T–duality at a finite radius and the action of Euclidean D–strings. In this way, we also overcome certain issues regarding the brane description of Aharony duality. Moreover, we apply our strategy to more general dualities, such as toric duality for M2–branes and dualities with adjoint matter fields.
