Abstract
We study various aspects of the 4d/3d reduction of \( \mathcal{N} \) = 1 dualities involving USp(2Nc) gauge theories with 2Nf fundamentals and one antisymmetric. We discuss the non-trivial role played by the monopole superpotentials in the reduction and obtain new 3d dualities for models with both symplectic and unitary gauge groups. For Nf = 4 we observe interesting webs of dualities and symmetry enhancements, recovering and extending some results already appeared in the literature.
