The partition function on the three-sphere of many supersymmetric Chern-Simons-matter theories reduces, by localization, to a matrix model. We develop a new method to study these models in the M-theory limit, but at all orders in the 1/N…
We solve for finite $N$ the matrix model of supersymmetric $U(N)$ Chern-Simons theory coupled to $N_{f}$ fundamental and $N_{f}$ anti-fundamental chiral multiplets of $R$-charge $1/2$ and of mass $m$, by identifying it with an average of…
We study the matrix models that result from localization of the partition functions of N=2 Chern-Simons-matter theories on the three-sphere. A large class of such theories are conjectured to be holographically dual to M-theory on…
We study ${\cal N}=3$ linear Chern-Simons-matter theories in the planar limit. The matter content of the theory is depicted by a linear-shape diagram with $n$ nodes and $n-1$ links for any $n$. The free energy and the vevs of BPS Wilson…
We study a matrix model which is obtained by dimensional reduction of Chern-Simon theory on S^3 to zero dimension. We find that expanded around a particular background consisting of multiple fuzzy spheres, it reproduces the original theory…
We study ${\mathcal{N}}=2$ supersymmetric $U(N)$ Chern-Simons with $N_{f}$ fundamental and $N_{f}$ antifundamental chiral multiplets of mass $m$ in the complete parameter space spanned by $(g,\,m,\,N,\,N_{f})$, where $g$ denotes the…
It has been recently demonstrated that the thermal partition function of any large $N$ Chern-Simons gauge theories on $S^2$, coupled to fundamental matter, reduces to a capped unitary matrix model. The matrix models corresponding to several…
We numerically investigate the sphere partition function of a Chern-Simons-matter theory with $SU(N)$ gauge group at level $k$ coupled to three adjoint chiral multiplets that is dual to massive IIA theory. Beyond the leading order $N^{5/3}$…
In this paper we discuss SU(N) Chern-Simons theories at level k with both fermionic and bosonic vector matter. In particular we present an exact calculation of the free energy of the N=2 supersymmetric model (with one chiral field) for all…
We investigate the planar solution of matrix models derived from various Chern-Simons-matter theories compatible with the planar limit. The saddle-point equations for most of such theories can be solved in a systematic way. A relation to…
The partition function of the Chern-Simons theory on the three-sphere with the unitary group $U(N)$ provides a one-matrix model. The corresponding $N$-particle system can be mapped to the determinantal point process whose correlation kernel…
We show that matrix models in Chern-Simons theory admit an interpretation as 1D exactly solvable models, paralleling the relationship between the Gaussian matrix model and the Calogero model. We compute the corresponding Hamiltonians,…
We derive a noncommutative U(1) and U(n) gauge theory on the fuzzy sphere from a three dimensional matrix model by expanding the model around a classical solution of the fuzzy sphere. Chern-Simons term is added in the matrix model to make…
In this work we study some properties of the three dimensional $U(N)$ SUSY Chern-Simons coupled to a scalar field in the fundamental representation in the large $N$ limit. For large $N$ we show that the theory has two phases, one which is…
We study $SU(2)$ Chern-Simons theories at level $k$ coupled to a scalar on $T^2\times \mathbb{R}$ at large baryon number. We find a homogeneous but anisotropic ground state configuration for any values of $k$ on the IR fixed-point of those…
We consider the most general, classically-conformal, three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ Chern-Simons-matter theory with global symmetry $Sp(2)$ and gauge group $U(N)\times U(N)$. We show that the Lagrangian in the on-shell formulation of the…
We study $U(N)_k$ Chern-Simons theory coupled to fundamental fermions and scalars in a large $N$ `t Hooft limit. We compute the thermal free energy at high temperature, as well as two- and three-point functions of simple gauge-invariant…
In these lectures I give a pedagogical presentation of some of the recent progress in supersymmetric Chern-Simons-matter theories, coming from the use of localization and matrix model techniques. The goal is to provide a simple derivation…
For matrix models with measure on the Lie algebra of SO/Sp, the sub-leading free energy is given by F_{1}(S)=\pm{1/4}\frac{\del F_{0}(S)}{\del S}. Motivated by the fact that this relationship does not hold for Chern-Simons theory on S^{3},…
We consider different large ${\cal N}$ limits of the one-dimensional Chern-Simons action $i\int dt~ \Tr (\del_0 +A_0)$ where $A_0$ is an ${\cal N}\times{\cal N}$ antihermitian matrix. The Hilbert space on which $A_0$ acts as a linear…
