Abstract

We show that a broad class of three-dimensional N=2\mathcal{N}=2 chiral Chern-Simons gauge theories admit an abelian and planar dual description. These chiral-planar dualities emerge by performing real mass deformations on known N=4\mathcal{N}=4 mirror pairs, using the N=2\mathcal{N}=2^* setup to flow to chiral theories on the electric side. While identifying the correct dual vacuum is subtle due to the rich structure of the Coulomb branch, we develop a mirror dualization algorithm that streamlines this process and systematically provides the abelian-planar duals of chiral quivers.
