Abstract
We consider a nonsupersymmetric Hanany-Witten type IIB brane configuration that realizes a threedimensional USpð2NÞ gauge theory with quarks in the two-index antisymmetric representation and SOð4Þ flavor symmetry. Using type IIB S-duality we find the mirror dual, an SOð2N − 1Þ field theory with scalars in the antisymmetric representation. Analyzing the magnetic dual, we study the vacuum structure of the USpð2NÞ model and propose that the SOð4Þ global symmetry is unbroken. In order to support our proposal we present an SOð4Þ symmetric BIon configuration that describes anti–D3 branes polarizing into fivebranes in the S-dual Hanany-Witten setup. We also comment on dynamical flavor symmetry breaking in other QCD3 theories with quarks in two-index representations.
