In this paper, based on a talk given at the Pomeranchuk memorial conference in ITEP in June 2013, we review the vacuum dynamics in 3D supersymmetric Yang—Mills—Chern—Simons theories with and without extra matter multiplets. By analyzing the effective Born—Oppenheimer Hamiltonian in a small spatial box, we calculate the number of vacuum states (Witten index) and examine their structure for these theories. The results are identical with those obtained by other methods.
