Abstract: This talk explores the profound and intricate world of dualities in supersymmetric gauge theories, starting with the fundamental principles that reveal deep equivalences between seemingly distinct physical systems. We will examine key examples such as Seiberg duality, which serve as a powerful tool for  analyzing the IR behavior of SUSY.  A key focus of the discussion will be the role of quiver gauge theories, which provide a systematic framework for encoding the structure of gauge groups  and matter content. By utilizing quivers, we gain a powerful method for identifying and analyzing dualities in both high- and low-dimensional theories. The talk will highlight quiver gauge theory as a versatile tool in the study of modern theoretical physics.
