Abstract

We study N=3{\cal N}=3 linear Chern-Simons-matter theories in the planar limit. The matter content of the theory is depicted by a linear-shape diagram with nn nodes and n1n-1 links for any nn. The free energy and the vevs of BPS Wilson loops are given in terms of a single 1-form on CP1\mathbb{CP}^1 which can be determined explicitly for all linear theories. The analytic structure of the vevs of the Wilson loops is investigated in detail for n=1n=1 and n=2n=2. The addition of fundamental matters is also discussed.
