Confinement in 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ $Spin(N)$ gauge theories with vector and spinor matters

Abstract

We present various confinement phases of three-dimensional N = 2 Spin(N ) gauge theories with vector and spinor matters. The quantum Coulomb branch of the moduli space of vacua is drastically changed when the rank of the gauge group and the matter contents are changed. In many examples, the Coulomb branch is one-or twodimensional but its interpretation varies. In some examples, the Coulomb branch becomes three-dimensional and we need to introduce a "dressed" Coulomb branch operator.
