contents We extend the study of relevant deformations connecting 2d (0,2) gauge theories on D1-branes probing toric Calabi-Yau 4-folds beyond pure mass deformations. The underlying geometry provides powerful insights when field-theoretic tools are still lacking. We observe that the volume of the Sasaki-Einstein base of the Calabi-Yau 4-fold grows towards the IR, signaling the relevance of deformations. We exploit the map between gauge theory fields and GLSM fields to compute scaling dimensions directly from divisor volumes, allowing for a sharper determination of whether terms in the Lagrangian are relevant or irrelevant. Moreover, this map provides a systematic way to determine the precise set of terms needed to realize a given deformation. We also explore the interplay between general relevant deformations and triality, studying cases where non-mass deformations are mapped to mass deformations in a dual theory, and resolving puzzles that seem to require non-holomorphic couplings in one of the dual phases. Finally, we present evidence that when the Hilbert series of the mesonic moduli space is refined only under the U(1) R-symmetry, it becomes invariant even under non-mass relevant deformations of the brane brick models corresponding to toric Calabi-Yau 4-folds related by a birational transformation, extending previous results to a broader class of deformations.
