## TL;DR

This paper extends QCD$_3$ symmetry-breaking dualities to a master bosonization duality, constructs flavored quiver dualities, and supports these with holographic models, revealing new phase structures and dualities in 2+1 dimensions.

## Contribution

It introduces a generalized duality framework for QCD$_3$ with flavored quivers and orthogonal/symplectic groups, expanding the landscape of known dualities and phase diagrams.

## Key findings

- New phase diagram with novel regions derived from anomaly arguments.
- Construction of node-by-node dualities for flavored quivers on domain walls.
- Holographic support for the proposed dualities, despite qualitative aspects.

## Abstract

We extend the recently proposed symmetry breaking scenario of QCD$_3$ to the so-called "master" $(2+1)$d bosonization duality, which has bosonic and fermionic matter on both ends. Using anomaly arguments, a phase diagram emerges with several novel regions. We then construct $2+1$ dimensional dualities for flavored quivers using node-by-node dualization. Such dualities are applicable to theories which live on domain walls in QCD$_4$-like theories with dynamical quarks. We also derive dualities for quivers based on orthogonal and symplectic gauge groups. Lastly, we support the conjectured dualities using holographic constructions, even though several aspects of this holographic construction remain mostly qualitative.
