Abstract
We generalize the Giveon-Kutasov duality by adding possible Chern-Simons interactions for the U(N) gauge group. Some of the generalized dualities are known in the literature and many others are new to the best of our knowledge. The dualities are connected to the non-supersymmetric bosonization duality via mass deformations. For N = 1, there are an infinite number of magnetic-dual theories.
