Abstract:  I will introduce new supersymmetric Seiberg-like dualities for 3d U(N) SQCDs with adjoint fields deformed by various types of monopole potentials. Those dualities are conjectured by analyzing the effects of the monopole potentials on the low-energy dynamics of the theories. Nontrivial evidence of the dualities are provided by comparing the supersymmetric spectrums, which can be captured by the superconformal indices. I also discuss some interesting examples exhibiting emergent phenomena at the low-energy conformal fixed points, such as confinement and symmetry enhancement.
