We study two cases of interrelations between the enhancement of symmetries in the infrared (IR) and duality properties of supersymmetric quantum field theories in four dimensions. First, we discuss an SU(2) N=1 model with four flavors, singlet fields, and a superpotential. We show that this model flows to a conformal field theory with E_{6}×U(1) global symmetry. The enhancement of the flavor symmetry follows from Seiberg duality. The second example is concerned with an SU(4) gauge theory with…
