abstract:

I will describe work on a universal relevant deformation that takes local unitary 3d N=4 superconformal field theories to topological quantum field theories. For example, I will describe how Abelian mirror symmetry is related to generalizations of level rank duality, and I will also discuss some more general statements and constraints that arise via t Hooft anomaly matching.
