We comment on various aspects of the the dynamics of 3d N=2 Chern-Simons gauge theories and their possible phases. Depending on the matter content, real masses and FI parameters, there can be non-compact Higgs or Coulomb branches, compact Higgs or Coulomb branches, and isolated vacua. We compute the Witten index of the theories, and show that it does not change when the system undergoes a phase transition. We study aspects of monopole operators and solitons in these theories, and clarify subtleties in the soliton collective coordinate quantization. We show that solitons are compatible with a mirror symmetry exchange of Higgs and Coulomb branches, with BPS solitons on one branch related to the modulus of the other. Among other results, we show how to derive Aharony duality from Giveon-Kutasov duality.

  1. Schubert line defects in 3d GLSMs, part II: Partial flag manifolds and parabolic quantum polynomials

    hep-th 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Schubert line defects in 3d GLSMs for partial flag manifolds reproduce parabolic Whitney polynomials for Schubert classes in quantum K-theory and yield new parabolic quantum Grothendieck polynomials.

  2. Schubert line defects in 3d GLSMs, part I: Complete flag manifolds and quantum Grothendieck polynomials

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Schubert line defects in 3d GLSMs for complete flag manifolds are realized as SQM quivers whose indices give quantum Grothendieck polynomials and restrict the target space to Schubert varieties.

  3. Perturbative Coulomb branches on $\mathbb{R}^3\times S^1$: the global D-term potential

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A global perturbative potential for the Coulomb branch is derived via zeta regularization of D-terms from KK modes in R^3 x S^1 compactifications of 4d N=1 theories.
