4d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 dualities from 5d dualities

Abstract

Abstract We consider 5d KK dualities, that is multiple 5d gauge theories with the same 6d infinite coupling limit. We provide a prescription to associate 4d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 quivers to the 5d dual quivers, such that the 4d quivers are also dual to each other. The 4d dualities are infrared dualities which can be checked matching global symmetry anomalies and in certain cases can be proven using basic Seiberg dualities sequentially. We also consider dualities obtained by Higgsing in two different ways the same 5d theory, in some simple examples.
