Abstract

We give explicit analytical expressions for the partition function of U(N)k×U(N+M)kU(N)_{k}\times U(N+M)_{-k} ABJ theory at weak coupling (k)k\rightarrow \infty ) for finite and arbitrary values of NN and MM (including the ABJM case and its mass-deformed generalization). We obtain the expressions by identifying the one-matrix model formulation with a Meixner-Pollaczek ensemble and using the corresponding orthogonal polynomials, which are also eigenfunctions of a su(1,1)su(1,1) quantum oscillator. Wilson loops in mass-deformed ABJM are also studied in the same limit and interpreted in terms of su(1,1)su(1,1) coherent states.
