SUMMARY:Quantum Phase transitions in 3d Chern-Simons-matter theories - Lou

DESCRIPTION:I will discuss how the tools of supersymmetric localisation ma
 y be applied in (mass-deformed) 3d N=4 quiver gauge theories\, and how the
 y can be used to uncover an interesting phase structure of these models.\n
 Starting with a lightning review of localisation in general\, and in parti
 cular applied to N=4 CS-matter theories on a three-sphere\, I will show ho
 w this reduces the path integral to a finite-dimensional matrix model. I w
 ill review tools available for solving these matrix models\, and show this
  allows us to uncover non-trivial phase structures in CS-matter theories.
