Abstract
Recently, the existence of a candidate -function for renormalizable theories in three dimensions was demonstrated for a general theory at leading order and for a scalar-fermion theory at next-to-leading order. Here we extend this work by constructing the -function at next-to-leading order for an supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory. This increase in precision for the -function necessitated the evaluation of the underlying renormalization-group functions at four loops.
