Description

We consider 4d N=1 Lagrangians dual to N=2 Argyres-Douglas models. The N=1 gauge theories have chiral ring operators with small r-charge, that violate the unitarity bound. We propose a general procedure to UV-complete such theories, isolating the infrared interacting SCFT. This allows to reduce the dualities to 3d and find two physical interpretations: the 'Abelianization duality' and its 3d mirror, the 'sequential confinement RG flow'.
