Chern-Simons dualities with multiple flavors at large $N$

Abstract

We study $U(N{)}_k$ Chern-Simons theory coupled to fundamental fermions and scalars in a large $N$ `t Hooft limit. We compute the thermal free energy at high temperature, as well as two- and three-point functions of simple gauge-invariant operators. Our findings support various dualities between Chern-Simons-matter theories with $\mathcal{N}=0,1,$ and $2$ supersymmetry.
