Description

I will explain the large N BPS phases of the ABJ vector Chern-Simons model dual to a higher spin gravity, from the saddle points of its index. Their physical aspects are discussed from the viewpoint of trace relations and fortuitous operators. I will compare them with the AdS string theory and its black holes.
