Abstract We derive, within the Hamiltonian formalism, the classical exchange algebra of a lambda deformed string sigma model in a symmetric space directly from a 4d holomorphic Chern-Simons theory. The explicit forms of the extended Lax connection and R-matrix entering the Maillet bracket of the lambda model are explained from a symmetry principle. This approach, based on a gauge theory, may provide a mechanism for taming the non-ultralocality that afflicts most of the integrable string theories propagating in coset spaces.

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.

Abstract We present homogeneous Yang-Baxter deformations of the AdS5×S5 supercoset sigma model as boundary conditions of a 4D Chern-Simons theory. We first generalize the procedure for the 2D principal chiral model developed by Delduc et al. [5] so as to reproduce the 2D symmetric coset sigma model, and specify boundary conditions governing homogeneous Yang-Baxter deformations. Then the conditions are applicable for the AdS5×S5 supercoset sigma model case as well. In addition, homogeneous bi-Yang-Baxter deformation is also discussed.

Abstract Recently, a variety of deformed T1,1 manifolds, with which 2D non-linear sigma models (NLSMs) are classically integrable, have been presented by Arutyunov, Bassi and Lacroix (ABL) [46]. We refer to the NLSMs with the integrable deformed T1,1 as the ABL model for brevity. Motivated by this progress, we consider deriving the ABL model from a 4D Chern-Simons (CS) theory with a meromorphic one-form with four double poles and six simple zeros. We specify boundary conditions in the CS theory that give rise to the ABL model and derive the sigma-model background with target-space metric and anti-symmetric two-form. Finally, we present two simple examples 1) an anisotropic T1,1 model and 2) a G/H λ-model. The latter one can be seen as a one-parameter deformation of the Guadagnini-Martellini-Mintchev model.

We prove, working in the Hamiltonian formalism, that a U(1) Chern-Simons theory coupled to fermions on a lattice can be mapped exactly onto a theory of interacting lattice anyons. This map does not involve any singular gauge transformations, and is everywhere well defined. We also prove that, when the statistics parameter is an odd integer so that the anyons are bosons, the ground state, which consists of a condensate of bound pairs of flux tubes and fermions, breaks phase invariance. The ensuing long range order implies that the system is an unconventional superfluid.

A transverse lattice model, with one lattice dimension and two continuum dimensions, is constructed by introducing Wess-Zumino terms into the gauged (1+1)-dimensional nonlinear sigma model action of the link fields. Its continuum limit is the pure Chern-Simons gauge theory in 2+1 dimensions. The lattice model is quantized, and some simple expectation values for Wilson loops on M2×S1 are evaluated. This construction provides an explicit connection between Chern-Simons theory and the gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten model.

The algebra of the integrated connections and of their traces is considered in the one-genus sector of classical and quantum Chern–Simons theory. In the classical case this algebra is braid-like and although the corresponding Jacobi identities are satisfied, the associated r-matrix does not satisfy the classical Yang–Baxter equations. However, it turns out this algebra originates a "quantum" algebra SU (2)q given by its trace algebra. Canonical quantization of the above algebra is performed and a one-parameter expression for the operator ordering is considered. The same quantum algebra with a modified deformation parameter, nontrivially depending on ħ, is obtained.

Abstract Many integrable systems can be reformulated as holomorphic vector bundles on twistor space. This is a powerful organizing principle in the theory of integrable systems. One shortcoming is that it is formulated at the level of the equations of motion. From this perspective, it is mysterious that integrable systems have Lagrangians. In this paper, we study a Chern-Simons action on twistor space and use it to derive the Lagrangians of some integrable sigma models. Our focus is on examples that come from dimensionally reduced gravity and supergravity. The dimensional reduction of general relativity to two spacetime dimensions is an integrable coset sigma model coupled to a dilaton and 2d gravity. The dimensional reduction of supergravity to two spacetime dimensions is an integrable coset sigma model coupled to matter fermions, a dilaton, and 2d supergravity. We derive Lax operators and Lagrangians for these 2d integrable systems using the Chern-Simons theory on twistor space. In the supergravity example, we use an extended setup in which twistor Chern-Simons theory is coupled to a pair of matter fermions.
