In this note, we compute the higher spin spectrum of U(M ) k Chern-Simons theory coupled to N flavours of fundamental fermions, in the limit N M with the 't Hooft coupling λ M = N km held fixed, to order M/N . This theory possesses a slightly broken higher spin symmetry, and may be of interest from the perspective of higher-spin and non-supersymmetric holography. We find that anomalous dimensions of the higher spin currents achieve a finite value at strong coupling λ M → ∞, which grows with spin as log s for large s, as expected for gauge theories.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
