Disorder Operators in Chern-Simons-Fermion Theories

High Energy Physics - Theory 2016-08-26 v2

Abstract

Building on the recent progress in solving Chern-Simons-matter theories in the planar limit, we compute the scaling dimensions of a large class of disorder ("monopole") operators in U(N)kU(N)_k Chern-Simons-fermion theories at all 't Hooft couplings λ=N/k\lambda = N/k. We find that the lowest-dimension operator of this sort has dimension 23k3/2\frac23 k^{3/2}. We comment on the implications of these results to analyzing maps of fermionic disorder operators under 3D bosonization.
