TLDR
In this article, the authors studied the three-dimensional theory of two Chern-Simons field coupled to a scalar field in the bifundamental representation of the SU(N ) −k × SU(M )−k gauge group and showed that this theory possesses a line of fixed points at any value of M/N.
Abstract
We study the three-dimensional theory of two Chern-Simons gauge fields coupled to a scalar field in the bifundamental representation of the SU(N ) k × SU(M )−k gauge group. At small but fixed M ≪ N , this system approaches the theory of a Chern-Simons field coupled to fundamental matter, conjectured to be dual to a parity-violating version of Vasiliev’s higher-spin gauge theory in AdS4. At finite M/N and large ’t Hooft coupling this theory (or its SUSY version) is expected to be dual to an Einstein-like gravity. We show at two loops that this theory possesses a line of fixed points at any value of M/N . We also prove that turning on a finite but small M/N gaps out the light states that Chern-Simons theory coupled to fundamental matter develops when placed on a torus. We also comment on the higher genus case.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors studied fixed points of scalar fields that transform in the bifundamental representation of O(N) times O(M/N) O(n)O(N/N), where N/N is the ratio of the ratio between the ratio O(m/n) and M/N.

Emergent Supersymmetry at Large $N$

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors search for infrared fixed points of Gross-Neveu Yukawa models with matrix degrees of freedom in $d=4-varepsilon, and find several non-supersymmetric fixed points at finite and large $N$ limit.

Quantum field theory and the Jones polynomial

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that 2+1 dimensional quantum Yang-Mills theory with an action consisting purely of the Chern-Simons term is exactly soluble and gave a natural framework for understanding the Jones polynomial of knot theory in three dimensional terms.
