Abstract: Mirror symmetry is an IR duality enjoyed by some supersymmetric QFTs realized in type IIB superstring theory and, as such, it is usually presented at the branes level. However, there is a procedure known as the “dualization algorithm” which allows us to implement mirror symmetry directly at the QFT level.
In this talk I will try to illustrate where does this technique come from, how does it work and which are the outstanding results it can provide. In particular, I will first put it to work on the simple example provided by good SQCD, in order to get some intuition, and then to the quite intricate case of the so called “bad” SQCD. Here we will se arising a very interesting feature: bad theories have a partition function which behaves as a sum of distribution rather than a regular function of the deformation parameters.
