Description
Recent studies of Chern-Simons-Matter (CSM) theories have unveiled an infinite web of dualities among these theories. While consistency within the web provides strong evidence for the dualities over a range of parameters, few explicit checks go beyond the strict infinite N limit. In this talk I will briefly review this web of dualities and some of the tests it has been subjected to. I will then advocate the study of CSM theories in the non-relativistic regime where they describe (strongly) interacting anyons in a trap. In this regime some observables can be evaluated exactly providing further evidence for the aforementioned dualities.
