It has been conjectured that 3d fermions minimally coupled to Chern-Simons gauge fields are dual to 3d critical scalars, also minimally coupled to Chern-Simons gauge fields. The large $N$ arguments for this duality can formally be used to…
In this paper we analyze the $2+1$d conformal fixed points arising from $SU(N_c)$ Chern-Simons-matter theories with multiple flavors $N_f > 1$ in the 't Hooft large $N_c$ limit. The multi-flavor generalization of quasi-fermionic theories…
We argue that a large class of N=2 Chern-Simons-matter theories in three dimensions have a continuous family of exact IR fixed points described by suitable quartic superpotentials, based on holomorphy. The entire family exists in the…
