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.

On the higher-spin spectrum in large N Chern-Simons vector models

TL;DR: In this paper, the scaling dimensions of the higher-spin operators of the Chern-Simons gauge theories coupled to massless fundamental scalars or fermions are computed in leading order in the 1/N expansion and exactly in the ’t Hooft coupling.

Chern Simons bosonization along RG flows

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conjecture that the bosonic and fermionic RG flows are dual to each other under a map of parameters under which the two partition functions agree exactly with each other all the way from the UV to the IR.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors simplify and extend previous work on three-point functions in Vasiliev's higher spin gauge theory in AdS4, and find complete agreement of the tree level three point functions of higher spin currents with the conjectured dual free O(N) vector theory.
