The Dorian mode or Doric mode can refer to three very different but interrelated subjects: one of the Ancient Greek harmoniai (characteristic melodic behaviour, or the scale structure associated with it); one of the medieval musical modes; or—most commonly—one of the modern modal diatonic scales, corresponding to the piano keyboard's white notes from D to D, or any transposition of itself.
The Dorian mode, and Aeolian dominant scale (Dorian ♯3 ♭6 scale), and Neapolitan major scale (Dorian ♭2 ♯7 scale), and double harmonic scale (Dorian ♭2 ♯3 ♭6 ♯7 scale), are all self-dual. [citation needed] However, there are no harmonic scales that are self-dual.

This cycle of 48 notes is a sequence of the first four notes of each major scale in the order of fifths from the circle of fifths. This cycle also contains all the Major/Ionian scales (overlapping) in the order of fifths with Dorian, Phrygian and Lydian modes also included for each Major group (e.g. C Ionian, D Dorian, E Phrygian, F Lydian).
The Dorian ♭ 2 scale, also known as the Phrygian ♮ 6 scale, is the second mode of the jazz minor scale (or the ascending melodic minor scale). It is on the second degree of the jazz minor scale. Without the minor second above the root, the scale would just be the Dorian mode . [ 1 ]
In music, the Ukrainian Dorian scale (or the Dorian ♯4 scale) is a modified minor scale with raised 4th and 6th, and lowered 7th degrees, often with a variable 4th degree. It has traditionally been common in the music of Eastern Europe , Southeast Europe , and the Mediterranean including Jewish, Greek, Ukrainian, and Romanian music.

Ignoring the root, the scales used for each of these four chords would be B Aeolian (natural minor), B Dorian, C♯ Mixolydian, and E Aeolian, respectively. However, from the perspective of pitch axis theory, we consider all scales to have the B root - so we would say that the progression is B Aeolian, B Dorian, B Lydian, and B Phrygian.
