Abstract: We study low-energy dynamics of three-dimensional $mathcalN=2$ $SU(N)$ "chiral" gauge theories with $F$ fundamental and $$ anti-fundamental matters without a Chern-Simons term. Compared to a naive semi-classical analysis of the Coulomb branch, its quantum structure is highly richer than expected due to so-called "dressed" Coulomb branch (monopole) operators. We propose dualities and confinement phases for the "chiral" $SU(N)$ theories. The theories with $$ exhibit spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. The very many Coulomb branch operators generally remain exactly massless and are non-trivially mapped under the dualities. Some dualities lead to a novel duality between $SU(N)$ and $USp(2ildeN)$ theories. For the 3d $mathcalN=2$ $SU(2)$ gauge theory with $2F$ doublets, there are generally $F+2$ "chiral" and "non-chiral" dual descriptions.
