Unitarity, Crossing Symmetry and Duality in the scattering of ${cal N}=1$ Susy Matter Chern-Simons theories

We study the most general renormalizable ${cal N}=1$ $U(N)$ Chern-Simons gauge theory coupled to a single (generically massive) fundamental matter multiplet. At leading order in the t Hooft large $N$ limit we present computations and conjectures for the $2 times 2$ $S$ matrix in these theories; our results apply at all orders in the t Hooft coupling and the matter self interaction. Our $S$ matrices are in perfect agreement with the recently conjectured strong weak coupling self duality of this class of theories. The consistency of our results with unitarity requires a modification of the usual rules of crossing symmetry in precisely the manner anticipated in arXiv:1404.6373, lending substantial support to the conjectures of that paper. In a certain range of coupling constants our $S$ matrices have a pole whose mass vanishes on a self dual codimension one surface in the space of couplings.
