Abstract
We compute the thermal free energy for all renormalizable Chern Simon the- ories coupled to a single fundamental bosonic and fermionic field in the 't Hooft large N limit. We use our results to conjecture a strong weak coupling duality invariance for this class of theories. Our conjectured duality reduces to Giveon Kutasov duality when restricted to N = 2 supersymmetric theories and to an earlier conjectured bosonization duality in an appropriate decoupling limit. Consequently the bosonization duality may be regarded as a deformation of Giveon Kutasov duality, suggesting that it is true even at large but finite N.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that in its simplest form the duality maps SU(N ) theories to U(k) theories, though there is also another version relating SU(n ) to U (k), and this precise form strongly affects the mapping under the Duality of baryon and monopole operators.
