Abstract We study the multi-boundary entanglement structure of the state associated with the torus link complement S3\Tp,q in the set-up of three-dimensional SU(2)k Chern-Simons theory. The focal point of this work is the asymptotic behavior of the Rényi entropies, including the entanglement entropy, in the semiclassical limit of k → ∞. We present a detailed analysis of several torus links and observe that the entropies converge to a finite value in the semiclassical limit. We further propose that the large k limiting value of the Rényi entropy of torus links of type Tp,pn is the sum of two parts: (i) the universal part which is independent of n, and (ii) the non-universal or the linking part which explicitly depends on the linking number n. Using the analytic techniques, we show that the universal part comprises of Riemann zeta functions and can be written in terms of the partition functions of two-dimensional topological Yang-Mills theory. More precisely, it is equal to the Rényi entropy of certain states prepared in topological 2d Yang-Mills theory with SU(2) gauge group. Further, the universal parts appearing in the large k limits of the entanglement entropy and the minimum Rényi entropy for torus links Tp,pn can be interpreted in terms of the volume of the moduli space of flat connections on certain Riemann surfaces. We also analyze the Rényi entropies of Tp,pn link in the double scaling limit of k → ∞ and n → ∞ and propose that the entropies converge in the double limit as well.

Abstract We derive the $$ T\overline{T} $$ T T ¯ -perturbed version of two-dimensional q-deformed Yang-Mills theory on an arbitrary Riemann surface by coupling the unperturbed theory in the first order formalism to Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. We show that the $$ T\overline{T} $$ T T ¯ -deformation results in a breakdown of the connection with a Chern-Simons theory on a Seifert manifold, and of the large N factorization into chiral and anti-chiral sectors. For the U(N) gauge theory on the sphere, we show that the large N phase transition persists, and that it is of third order and induced by instantons. The effect of the $$ T\overline{T} $$ T T ¯ -deformation is to decrease the critical value of the ’t Hooft coupling, and also to extend the class of line bundles for which the phase transition occurs. The same results are shown to hold for (q, t)-deformed Yang-Mills theory. We also explicitly evaluate the entanglement entropy in the large N limit of Yang-Mills theory, showing that the $$ T\overline{T} $$ T T ¯ -deformation decreases the contribution of the Boltzmann entropy.

Abstract We consider symmetry-resolved entanglement entropy in AdS3/CFT2 coupled to U(1) Chern-Simons theory. We identify the holographic dual of the charged moments in the two-dimensional conformal field theory as a charged Wilson line in the bulk of AdS3, namely the Ryu-Takayanagi geodesic minimally coupled to the U(1) Chern-Simons gauge field. We identify the holonomy around the Wilson line as the Aharonov-Bohm phases which, in the two-dimensional field theory, are generated by charged U(1) vertex operators inserted at the endpoints of the entangling interval. Furthermore, we devise a new method to calculate the symmetry resolved entanglement entropy by relating the generating function for the charged moments to the amount of charge in the entangling subregion. We calculate the subregion charge from the U(1) Chern-Simons gauge field sourced by the bulk Wilson line. We use our method to derive the symmetry-resolved entanglement entropy for Poincaré patch and global AdS3, as well as for the conical defect geometries. In all three cases, the symmetry resolved entanglement entropy is determined by the length of the Ryu-Takayanagi geodesic and the Chern-Simons level k, and fulfills equipartition of entanglement. The asymptotic symmetry algebra of the bulk theory is of $$ \hat{\mathfrak{u}}{(1)}_k $$ u ̂ 1 k Kac-Moody type. Employing the $$ \hat{\mathfrak{u}}{(1)}_k $$ u ̂ 1 k Kac-Moody symmetry, we confirm our holographic results by a calculation in the dual conformal field theory.

We show that the two-loop contribution to the coefficient of the Chern–Simons term in the effective action of the Yang–Mills–Chern–Simons theory is infrared finite in the background field Landau gauge. We also discuss the difficulties in verifying the conjecture, due to topological considerations, that there are no more quantum corrections to the Chern–Simons term other than the well-known one-loop shift of the coefficient.

I review the analysis of (2+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills (YM2+1) theory via the use of gauge-invariant matrix variables. The vacuum wavefunction, string tension, the propagator mass for gluons, its relation to the magnetic mass for YM3+1at nonzero temperature and the extension of our analysis to the Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory are discussed. A possible extension to 3 + 1 dimensions is also briefly considered.

Chern Simons Theory

Abstract We show that the four-dimensional Chern-Simons theory studied by Costello, Witten and Yamazaki, is, with Nahm pole-type boundary conditions, dual to a boundary theory that is a three-dimensional analogue of Toda theory with a novel 3d W-algebra symmetry. By embedding four-dimensional Chern-Simons theory in a partial twist of the five-dimensional maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on a manifold with corners, we argue that this three-dimensional Toda theory is dual to a two-dimensional topological sigma model with A-branes on the moduli space of solutions to the Bogomolny equations. This furnishes a novel 3d-2d correspondence, which, among other mathematical implications, also reveals that modules of the 3d W-algebra are modules for the quantized algebra of certain holomorphic functions on the Bogomolny moduli space.
