DESCRIPTION:Chern-Simons theories coupled to vector matter exhibit interes
 ting phenomena. In the planar limit\, these theories are conjectured to be
  holographically dual to generalized theories of gravity\, involving high-
 spin fields. This is a weak-weak holographic duality that is in some aspec
 ts very simple\, and may serve as a toy model for deepening our understand
 ing of both holography and string theory. On the CFT side\, exact calculat
 ions performed in the planar limit\, along with constraints imposed by a 
 ‘slightly-broken’ high-spin symmetry\, have led to many exact results.
  These have uncovered the details of a 3D bosonization duality\, relating 
 theories with bosonic matter to theories with fermionic matter. I will pre
 sent dynamical evidence for this duality.
