A master bosonization duality

TL;DR

This paper proposes a new sequence of dualities between Chern-Simons gauge theories coupled to bosons and fermions, extending previous dualities and supported by various consistency checks.

Contribution

It introduces a novel sequence of dualities that generalize existing Aharony dualities for Chern-Simons theories with matter fields.

Findings

Dualities reduce to Aharony dualities when bosons or fermions are absent.

Matching of global symmetries confirms the dualities.

Consistency with level/rank duality in massive phases supports the conjecture.

Abstract

We conjecture a new sequence of dualities between Chern-Simons gauge theories simultaneously coupled to fundamental bosons and fermions. These dualities reduce to those proposed by Aharony when the number of bosons or fermions is zero. Our conjecture passes a number of consistency checks. These include the matching of global symmetries and consistency with level/rank duality in massive phases.
