The large-N partition function for non-parity-invariant Chern-Simons-matter theories

Abstract

We extend the Fermi gas approach to a class of ABJM-like necklace quiver theories without parity invariance. The resulting partition function on S3S^3 retains the form of an Airy function, but now includes a phase that scales as NkNk in the large-NN limit where kk is an overall Chern-Simons level. We demonstrate the presence of this phase both analytically and numerically in the case of a three node quiver.
