Scattering amplitude and bosonization duality in general Chern-Simons vector models

Abstract

We present the exact large N calculus of four point functions in general Chern-Simons bosonic and fermionic vector models. Applying the LSZ formula to the four point function we determine the two body scattering amplitudes in these theories taking a special care for a non-analytic term to achieve unitarity in the singlet channel. We show that the S-matrix enjoys the bosonization duality, an unusual crossing relation and a non-relativistic reduction to Aharonov-Bohm scattering. We also argue that the S-matrix develops a pole in a certain range of coupling constants, which disappears in the range where the theory reduces to the Chern-Simons theory interacting with free fermions.
