3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ OPE Coefficients from Fermi Gas
Abstract
The partition function of a 3d gauge theory with rank can be computed using supersymmetric localization in terms of a matrix model, which often can be formulated as an ideal Fermi gas with a non-trivial one-particle Hamiltonian. We show how OPE coefficients of protected operators correspond in this formalism to averages of -body operators in the Fermi gas, which can be computed to all orders in using the WKB expansion. We use this formalism to compute OPE coefficients in the ABJM theory as well as the theory with one adjoint and fundamental hypermultiplets, both of which have weakly coupled M-theory duals in the large and finite or regimes. For ABJM we reproduce known results, while for the theory we compute the all orders in dependence at finite for the coefficient of the stress tensor two-point function.
