Abstract

We review some exact results for the matrix models appearing in the localization of Chern-Simons-matter theories, focusing on the structure of non-perturbative effects and onthe M-theory expansion of ABJM theory. We also summarize some of the results obtained for other Chern-Simons-matter theories, as well as recent applications to topological strings.
