Abstract
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 operators. Our findings support various dualities between Chern-Simons-matter theories with \( \mathcal{N} \) = 0, 1, and 2 supersymmetry.
