Metastable vacua in large-N QCD3

Abstract We reexamine the vacuum structure of three-dimensional quantum chromodynamics (QCD3) with gauge group SU(N), N f fundamental quark flavors, and a level-k Chern-Simons term. This analysis can be reliably carried out in the large-N, fixed N f , k limit of the theory, up to certain assumptions...
