We investigate phases of 3d ${cal N}=2$ Chern-Simons-matter theories, extending to three dimensions the celebrated correspondence between 2d gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten (GWZW) models and non-linear sigma models (NLSMs) with geometric targets. We find that although the correspondence in 3d and 2d are closely related by circle compactification, an important subtlety arises in this process, changing the phase structure of the 3d theory. Namely, the effective theory obtained from the circle compactification of a phase of a 3d ${cal N}=2$ gauge theory is, in general, different from the phase of the 3d ${cal N}=2$ theory on ${mathbb R}^2times S^{1}$, which means taking phases of a 3d gauge theory does not necessarily commute with compactification. We compute the Witten index of each effective theory to check this observation. Furthermore, when the matter fields have the same non-minimal charges, the 3d ${cal N}=2$ Chern-Simons-matter theory with a proper Chern-Simons level will decompose into several identical 2d gauged linear sigma models (GLSMs) for the same target upon reduction to 2d. To illustrate this phenomenon, we investigate how vacua of the 3d gauge theory for a weighted projective space $Wmathbb{P}_{[l,cdots,l]}$ move on the field space when we change the radius of $S^{1}$.

Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis and Maldacena have recently proposed a dual gravitational description for a family of superconformal Chern Simons theories in three spacetime dimensions. In this note we perform the one loop computation that determines the field theory superconformal index of this theory and compare with the index computed over the Fock space of dual supersymmetric gravitons. In the appropriate limit (large $N$ and large $k$) we find a perfect match.

Continuing the work arXiv:1603.06207, we study perturbative series in general 3d $mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric Chern-Simons matter theory with $U(1)_R$ symmetry, which is given by a power series expansion of inverse Chern-Simons levels. We find that the perturbative series are usually non-Borel summable along positive real axis for various observables. Alternatively we prove that the perturbative series are always Borel summable along negative (positive) imaginary axis for positive (negative) Chern-Simons levels. It turns out that the Borel resummations along this direction are the same as exact results and therefore correct ways of resumming the perturbative series.
We study a certain class of supersymmetric (SUSY) observables in 3d $mathcal{N}=2$ SUSY Chern-Simons (CS) matter theories and investigate how their exact results are related to the perturbative series with respect to coupling constants given by inver se CS levels. We show that the observables have nontrivial resurgent structures by expressing the exact results as a full transseries consisting of perturbative and non-perturbative parts. As real mass parameters are varied, we encounter Stokes phenomena at an infinite number of points, where the perturbative series becomes non-Borel-summable due to singularities on the positive real axis of the Borel plane. We also investigate the Stokes phenomena when the phase of the coupling constant is varied. For these cases, we find that the Borel ambiguities in the perturbative sector are canceled by those in nonperturbative sectors and end up with an unambiguous result which agrees with the exact result even on the Stokes lines. We also decompose the Coulomb branch localization formula, which is an integral representation for the exact results, into Lefschetz thimble contributions and study how they are related to the resurgent transseries. We interpret the non-perturbative effects appearing in the transseries as contributions of complexified SUSY solutions which formally satisfy the SUSY conditions but are not on the original path integral contour.
We compute the two, three point function of the opearators in the spin zero multiplet of ${cal N}=2$ Supersymmetric vector matter Chern-Simons theory at large $N$ and at all orders of t Hooft coupling by solving the Schwinger-Dyson equation. Schwinge r-Dyson method to compute four point function becomes extremely complicated and hence we use bootstrap method to solve for four point function of scaler operator $J_0^{f}=barpsi psi$ and $J_0^{b}=barphi phi$. Interestingly, due to the fact that $langle J_0^{f}J_0^{f}J_0^{b} rangle$ is a contact term, the four point function of $ J_0^{f}$ operator looks like that of free theory up to overall coupling constant dependent factors and up to some bulk AdS contact terms. On the other hand the $J_0^{b}$ four-point function receives an additional contribution compared to the free theory expression due to the $J_0^{f}$ exchange. Interestingly, double discontinuity of this single trace operator $J_0^{f}$ vanishes and hence it only contributes to AdS-contact term.
This is a compact review of recent results on supersymmetric Wilson loops in ABJ(M) and related theories. It aims to be a quick introduction to the state of the art in the field and a discussion of open problems. It is divided into short chapters dev oted to different questions and techniques. Some new results, perspectives and speculations are also presented. We hope this might serve as a baseline for further studies of this topic.
