Abstract A free differential algebra is generalization of a Lie algebra in which the mathematical structure is extended by including of new Maurer-Cartan equations for higher-degree differential forms. In this article, we propose a generalization of the Chern-Weil theorem for free differential algebras containing only one p-form extension. This is achieved through a generalization of the covariant derivative, leading to an extension of the standard formula for Chern-Simons and transgression forms. We also study the possible existence of anomalies originated on this kind of structure. Some properties and particular cases are analyzed.

We obtain generalized Chern-Simons actions in arbitrary dimensions. A graded Lie algebra plays an essential role in extending into odd dimensions in contrast with the even-dimensional generalized Chern-Simons action which we have obtained previously. As a particular example we obtain three-dimensional generalized Chern-Simons action which includes the standard Chern-Simons action together with additional terms which are responsible for a new type of gauge symmetry as well as supersymmetry. As a particular supersymmetric version, we obtain an action whose partition function is Casson invariant. We also find series of gauge invariant physical observables.

Pada artikel ini akan ditunjukan analisa dari perluasan gauge invariant exact dan metric independent untuk menkontruksi lower-rank field-strength tensor. Hasil ini akan digunakan untuk mengkontruski ulang Chern-Simons-Antoniadis-Savvidy formasi (2n+1) pada dimensi genap dengan menggunakan pendekatan diferensial geometri. Selanjutnya akan dianalisa bentuk topological gravitasi 2-dimensi yang merupakan perluasan dari teorema Chern-Weil yang telah dikembangkan oleh Izurieta-Munoz-Salgado. Hasil dari penelitian ini memperlihatkan bahwa aksi Lagrangian yang sama seperti pada topological gravitasi Chern-Simons forms pada dimensi (2n+1) invariant terhadap Poincare group SO(D−1,1)  SO(D−1,2). This article determine and analyess of the extended gauge invariant exact and metric independent to construct the lower-rank field-strength tensor. These results used to construct Chern-Simons-Antoniadis-Savvidy (2n+1)-forms even dimensions using a differential geometry approach. This result analyzed 2-dimensional topological gravity forms that extended Chern-Weil theorem which has been developed by Izurieta-Munoz-Salgado.

The famous Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt theorem states that a Lie algebra, free as a module, embeds into its associative envelope—its universal enveloping algebra—as a sub-Lie algebra for the usual commutator Lie bracket. However, there is another functorial way—less known—to associate a Lie algebra to an associative algebra and inversely. Any commutative algebra equipped with a derivation , that is, a commutative differential algebra, admits a Wronskian bracket under which it becomes a Lie algebra. Conversely, to any Lie algebra a commutative differential algebra is universally associated, its Wronskian envelope, in a way similar to the associative envelope. This contribution is the beginning of an investigation of these relations between Lie algebras and differential algebras which is parallel to the classical theory. In particular, we give a sufficient condition under which a Lie algebra may be embedded into its Wronskian envelope, and we present the construction of the free Lie algebra with this property.

We extend the previously proposed generalized gauge theory formulation of the Chern–Simons type and topological Yang–Mills type actions into Yang–Mills type actions. We formulate gauge fields and Dirac–Kähler matter fermions by all degrees of differential forms. The simplest version of the model which includes only zero and one-form gauge fields accommodated with the graded Lie algebra of SU (2|1) supergroup leads the Weinberg–Salam model. Thus the Weinberg–Salam model formulated by noncommutative geometry is a particular example of the present formulation.

It is shown that, in the three-dimensional lattice gravity defined by Ponzano and Regge, the space of physical states is isomorphic to the space of gauge-invariant functions on the moduli space of flat SU(2) connections over a two-dimensional surface, which gives physical states in the ISO(3) Chern–Simons gauge theory. To prove this, we employ the q-analogue of this model defined by Turaev and Viro as a regularization to sum over states. A recent work by Turaev suggests that the q-analogue model itself may be related to an Euclidean gravity with a cosmological constant proportional to 1/k2, where q=e2πi/(k+2).

We consider the static quantum potential for a gauge theory which includes a light massive vector field interacting with the familiar U (1) QED photon via a Chern–Simons-like coupling, by using the gauge-invariant, but path-dependent, variables formalism. An exactly screening phase is then obtained, which displays a marked departure of a qualitative nature from massive axionic electrodynamics. The above static potential profile is similar to that encountered in axionic electrodynamics consisting of a massless axion-like field, as well as to that encountered in the coupling between the familiar U (1) QED photon and a second massive gauge field living in the so-called U (1)h hidden-sector, inside a superconducting box.

The solution of the non-Abelian SU (N) quantum Chern–Simons field theory defined in R3 is presented. It is shown how to compute the expectation values of the Wilson line operators, associated with oriented framed links, in closed form. The main properties of the universal link polynomial, defined by these expectation values, are derived in the case of a generic real simple Lie algebra. The resulting polynomials for some simple examples of links are reported.

AbstractIn this study, we introduce a dual Hopf algebra in the sense of Sudbery for the quantum space(3) whose coordinates satisfy the commutation relations with two parameters and we show that the dual algebra is isomorphic to the quantum Lie algebra corresponding to the Cartan-Maurer right invariant differential forms on the quantum space(3). We also observe that the quantum Lie algebra generators are commutative as those of the undeformed Lie algebra and the deformation becomes apparent when one studies the Leibniz rules for the generators.

AbstractWe construct a non-commutative analogue of the algebra of differential forms on the space of endomorphisms of a vector space, given a non-commutative algebra of functions and differential forms on the vector space. The construction yields a differential bialgebra which is a skew product of an algebra of functions and an algebra of differential forms with constant coefficients. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for such an algebra to exist, show that it is uniquely determined by the differential algebra on the vector space, and show that it is a non-commutative superpolynomial algebra in the matrix elements and their differentials (i.e. that it has the same dimensions of homogeneous components as in the classical case).

We give explicit field theoretical representations for the observables of (2+1)-dimensional Chern–Simons theory in terms of gauge-invariant composites of 2-D WZW fields. To test our identification we compute some basic Wilson loop correlators and re-obtain the known results.
