Some properties of the previously proposed lattice version of the Abelian Chern-Simons gauge theory are studied. The lattice analog of BF systems is constructed, and the properties of both theories are found to be in close correspondence with those of the continuous theory. The correspondence with two-dimensional lattice statistical systems is established and the lattice origin of the framing of Wilson loops is shown.

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 find the relationship between the Jackiw-Teitelboim model of two-dimensional gravity and the SL (2, R) induced gravity. These are shown to be related to a two-dimensional gauge theory obtained by dimensionally reducing the Chern-Simons action of the 2+1 dimensional gravity. We present an explicit solution to the equations of motion of the auxiliary field of the Jackiw-Teitelboim model in the light-cone gauge. A renormalization of the cosmological constant is also given.

I consider a gas of “free” anyons with statistical paremeter δ on a two dimensional lattice. Using a recently derived Jordan-Wigner transformation, I map this problem onto a gas of fermions on a lattice coupled to a Chern-Simons gauge theory with coupling [Formula: see text]. I show that if [Formula: see text] and the density [Formula: see text], with r and q integers, the system is a superfluid. If q is even and the system is half filled the state may be either a superfluid or a Quantum Hall System depending on the dynamics. Similar conclusions apply for other values of ρ and δ. The dynamical stability of the Fetter-Hanna-Laughlin goldstone mode is insured by the topological invariance of the quantized Hall conductance of the fermion problem. This leads to the conclusion that anyon gases are generally superfluids or quantum Hall systems.

Abstract This is the second in a two-part paper devoted to studying entanglement entropy and edge modes in the A model topological string theory. This theory enjoys a gauge-string (Gopakumar-Vafa) duality which is a topological analogue of AdS/CFT. In part 1, we defined a notion of generalized entropy for the topological closed string theory on the resolved conifold. We provided a canonical interpretation of the generalized entropy in terms of the q-deformed entanglement entropy of the Hartle-Hawking state. We found string edge modes transforming under a quantum group symmetry and interpreted them as entanglement branes. In this work, we provide the dual Chern-Simons gauge theory description. Using Gopakumar-Vafa duality, we map the closed string theory Hartle-Hawking state to a Chern-Simons theory state containing a superposition of Wilson loops. These Wilson loops are dual to closed string worldsheets that determine the partition function of the resolved conifold. We show that the undeformed entanglement entropy due to cutting these Wilson loops reproduces the bulk generalized entropy and therefore captures the entanglement underlying the bulk spacetime. Finally, we show that under the Gopakumar-Vafa duality, the bulk entanglement branes are mapped to a configuration of topological D-branes, and the non-local entanglement boundary condition in the bulk is mapped to a local boundary condition in the gauge theory dual. This suggests that the geometric transition underlying the gauge-string duality may also be responsible for the emergence of entanglement branes.

We discuss a quantum [Formula: see text] symmetry in the Landau problem, which naturally arises due to the relation between [Formula: see text] and the group of magnetic translations. The latter is connected with W∞ and area-preserving (symplectic) diffeomorphisms which are the canonical transformations in the two-dimensional phase space. We shall discuss the hidden quantum symmetry in a 2 + 1 gauge theory with the Chern–Simons term and in a quantum Hall system, which are both connected with the Landau problem.
