The WZW models describe the dynamics of the edge modes of Chern-Simons theories in three dimensions. We explore the WZW models which can be mapped to supersymmetric theories via the generalized Jordan-Wigner transformation. Some of such models have supersymmetric Ramond vacua, but the others break the supersymmetry spontaneously. We also make a comment on recent proposals that the Read-Rezayi states at filling fraction \nu=1/2,~2/3ν=1/2,2/3 are able to support supersymmetry.

We study various Chern–Simons (CS) theories in three dimensions with extended super-symmetries. Starting with remarks on nonsupersymmetric cases, we give (i) N = 2 non-Abelian CS theories, (ii) N = 4 non-Abelian CS theory, (iii) conformal supergravity CS theories for general N ≥ 2 up to N = ∞, (iv) CS action in terms of composite gauge fields, based on the N = 1 supersymmetric SO (n + 1)/ SO (n) σ model, (v) relationship of CS theories with higher-dimensional supersymmetric theories, especially with ten-dimensional heterotic string theory, (vi) a prototype model yielding the N = 2 CS theories, (vii) N = 8M and N = 8M − 2 extended supersymmetric Abelian CS theories, and (viii) CS theories for graded Lie groups. Some remarks on anyon models and supersymmetric Jones polynomials are also given.

Chern Simons Theory

For a recently proposed pure gauge theory in three dimensions, without a Chern–Simons term, we calculate the static interaction potential within the structure of the gauge-invariant variables formalism. As a consequence, a confining potential is obtained. This result displays a marked qualitative departure from the usual Maxwell–Chern–Simons theory.

Abstract We present an analytic construction of multi-brane solutions with any integer brane number in cubic open string field theory (CSFT) on the basis of the ${K\!Bc}$ algebra. Our solution is given in the pure-gauge form $\Psi=U{Q_\textrm{B}} U^{-1}$ by a unitary string field $U$, which we choose to satisfy two requirements. First, the energy density of the solution should reproduce that of the $(N+1)$-branes. Second, the equations of motion (EOM) of the solution should hold against the solution itself. In spite of the pure-gauge form of $\Psi$, these two conditions are non-trivial ones due to the singularity at $K=0$. For the $(N+1)$-brane solution, our $U$ is specified by $[N/2]$ independent real parameters $\alpha_k$. For the 2-brane ($N=1$), the solution is unique and reproduces the known one. We find that $\alpha_k$ satisfying the two conditions indeed exist as far as we have tested for various integer values of $N\ (=2, 3, 4, 5, \ldots)$. Our multi-brane solutions consisting only of the elements of the ${K\!Bc}$ algebra have the problem that the EOM is not satisfied against the Fock states and therefore are not complete ones. However, our construction should be an important step toward understanding the topological nature of CSFT, which has similarities to the Chern–Simons theory in three dimensions.

Abstract Recent developments involving JT gravity in two dimensions indicate that under some conditions, a gravitational path integral is dual to an average over an ensemble of boundary theories, rather than to a specific boundary theory. For an example in one dimension more, one would like to compare a random ensemble of two-dimensional CFT’s to Einstein gravity in three dimensions. But this is difficult. For a simpler problem, here we average over Narain’s family of two-dimensional CFT’s obtained by toroidal compactification. These theories are believed to be the most general ones with their central charges and abelian current algebra symmetries, so averaging over them means picking a random CFT with those properties. The average can be computed using the Siegel-Weil formula of number theory and has some properties suggestive of a bulk dual theory that would be an exotic theory of gravity in three dimensions. The bulk dual theory would be more like U(1)2D Chern-Simons theory than like Einstein gravity.

We study parity violation in (2+1)-dimensional gauge theories coupled to massive fermions. Using the ζ function regularization approach we evaluate the ground state fermion current in an arbitrary gauge field background, showing that it gets two different contributions which violate parity invariance and induce a Chern–Simons term in the gauge field effective action. One is related to the well-known classical parity breaking produced by a fermion mass term in three dimensions; the other, already present for massless fermions, is related to peculiarities of gauge-invariant regularization in odd-dimensional spaces.

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.
