Abstract
We continue the study of Lagrangian descriptions of \( \mathcal{N}=2 \) Argyres-Douglas theories. We use our recent interpretation in terms of sequential confinement to guess the Lagrangians of all the Argyres-Douglas models with Abelian three dimensional mirror. We find classes of four dimensional \( \mathcal{N}=1 \) quivers that flow in the infrared to generalized Argyres-Douglas theories, such as the (A k , A kN +N −1) models. We study in detail how the \( \mathcal{N}=1 \) chiral rings map to the Coulomb and Higgs Branches of the \( \mathcal{N}=2 \) CFT’s. The three dimensional mirror RG flows are shown to land on the \( \mathcal{N}=4 \) complete graph quivers. We also compactify to three dimensions the gauge theory dual to (A 1, D 4), and find the expected Abelianization duality with \( \mathcal{N}=4 \) SQED with 3 flavors.
