3d mirror symmetry is a proposed duality relating a pair of 3-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories. Various consequences of this duality have been heavily explored by representation theorists in recent years, under the name of "symplectic duality". In joint work in progress with Justin Hilburn, for the case of abelian gauge groups, we provide a fully mathematical explanation of this duality in the form of an equivalence of 2-categories of boundary conditions for topological twists of these theories. We will also discuss some applications to homological mirror symmetry and geometric Langlands duality.
