Abstract

3d mirrors for all 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ Argyres-Douglas (AD) theories engineered using 6d $(2,0)$ theory are found. The basic steps are: 1): Find a punctured sphere representation for the AD theories (this is achieved in our previous studies of S duality); 2): Attach a 3d theory for each puncture; 3): Glue together the 3d theory for each puncture. We found the 3d mirror quiver gauge theory for the AD theories engineered using 6d $A$ and $D$ type theories. These 3d mirrors are useful for studying the properties of original 4d theory such as Higgs branch, S-duality, etc; We also construct many new 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ SCFTs.
