Chern Simons Theory

We present a new formulation of Chern-Simons theory on a three-dimensional lattice, with either the linear gauge group R or the finite cyclic gauge group Z N. By coupling extended objects called dumb-bells to the lattice Chern-Simons field, we obtain a model exhibiting fractional statistics in the continuum limit. Internal dumb-bell angular momenta take values consistent with their statistics. The Z N-model has a gauge-decoupled condensate. Either model can admit a Maxwell term.

Chern Simons Theory

We study the resolution of certain cosmological singularity in the context of higher-spin three-dimensional gravity. We consider gravity coupled to a spin-3 field realized as Chern–Simons theory with gauge group [Formula: see text]. In this context, we elaborate and extend a singularity resolution scheme proposed by Krishnan and Roy. We discuss the resolution of a big bang singularity in the case of gravity coupled to a spin-4 field realized as Chern–Simons theory with gauge group [Formula: see text]. In all these cases, we show the existence of gauge transformations that do not change the holonomy of the Chern–Simons gauge potential and lead to metrics without the initial singularity. We argue that such transformations always exist in the context of gravity coupled to a spin-[Formula: see text] field when described by Chern–Simons with gauge group [Formula: see text].

Abstract It has been conjectured that duality cascade occurs in the $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 3 supersymmetric Yang-Mills Chern-Simons theory with the gauge group U(N)k × U(N + M)−k coupled to two bi-fundamental hypermultiplets. The brane picture suggests that this duality cascade can be generalized to a class of 3d $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 3 supersymmetric quiver gauge theories coming from so-called Hanany-Witten type brane configurations. In this paper we perform non-perturbative tests of the duality cascades using supersymmetry localization. We focus on S3 partition functions and prove predictions from the duality cascades. We also discuss that our result can be applied to generate new dualities for more general theories which include less supersymmetric theories and theories without brane constructions.

Chern Simons Theory

All consistent interactions in a three-dimensional theory with tensor gauge fields of degrees two and three are obtained by means of the deformation of the solution to the master equation combined with cohomological techniques. The local BRST cohomology of this model allows the deformation of the Lagrangian action, accompanying gauge symmetries and gauge algebra. The relationship with the Chern–Simons theory is discussed.

A genuinely three-dimensional covariant approach to the monodromy operator (skein relations) in the context of Chern-Simons theory is proposed. A holomorphic path-integral representation for the holonomy operator (Wilson loop) and for the non-abelian Stokes theorem is used.

Chern Simons Theory

We investigate a three-dimensional gauge theory modeled on Chern–Simons theory. The Lagrangian is most compactly written in terms of a two-index tensor that can be decomposed into fields with spins zero, one, and two. These all mix under the gauge transformation. The background-field method of quantization is used in conjunction with operator regularization to compute the real part of the two-point function for the scalar field.

Chern Simons Theory

The universality of radiative corrections to the gauge coupling constant k of the Chern–Simons theory is studied in a very general regularization scheme in the background gauge formalism. The effective constant k eff induced by radiative corrections can be any real number depending on the balance between the ultraviolet behavior of scalar and pseudoscalar terms in the regularized action. This ambiguity of the effective action is related to the ambiguity in the parity anomaly of three-dimensional Dirac fermions. The effective action also contains a non-analytic term in the gauge field with the same coefficient and opposite gauge transformation in such a way that the effective action is gauge-invariant. The results open the possibility of a connection with non-rational two-dimensional conformal theories for non-integer values of k eff .

We answer the questions, “What does Chern–Simons theory assign to a point?” and “What kind of mathematical object does Chern–Simons theory assign to a point?” Our answer to the first question is representations of the based loop group. More precisely, we identify a certain class of projective unitary representations of the based loop group 𝛀G. We define the fusion product of such representations, and we prove that, modulo certain conjectures, the Drinfel’d center of that representation category of 𝛀G is equivalent to the category of positive energy representations of the free loop group LG.† The abovementioned conjectures are known to hold when the gauge group is abelian or of type A1. Our answer to the second question is bicommutant categories. The latter are higher categorical analogs of von Neumann algebras: They are tensor categories that are equivalent to their bicommutant inside Bim(R), the category of bimodules over a hyperfinite 𝐼𝐼𝐼1 factor. We prove that, modulo certain conjectures, the category of representations of the based loop group is a bicommutant category. The relevant conjectures are known to hold when the gauge group is abelian or of type An.
