Abstract
We present s-confinement phases for three-index matters in three-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories. We find that the 3d \( \mathcal{N}=2 \) SU(6) and USp(6) gauge theories with three-index anti-symmetric matters show confining phases. The exact super-potentials which describe their low-energy dynamics are derived. We check the validity of our analysis in various ways, including superconformal indices and some deformations.
