Holographic Chern–Simons Theories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Chern-Simons theories in three dimensions are topological field theories that may have a holographic interpretation for suitable chosen gauge groups and boundary conditions on the fields. Conformal Chern-Simons gravity is a topological model of 3-dimensional gravity that exhibits Weyl invariance and allows various holographic descriptions, including ...

Supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory as higher Chern-Simons theory [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2017
We observe that the string field theory actions for the topological sigma models describe higher or categorified Chern-Simons theories. These theories yield dynamical equations for connective structures on higher principal bundles.

PERTURBATIVE CHERN-SIMONS THEORY [PDF]

open access: greenJournal of Knot Theory and Its Ramifications, 1995
We present the perturbation theory of the Chern-Simons gauge field theory and prove that to second order it indeed gives knot invariants. We identify these invariants and show that in fact we get a previously unknown integral formula for the Arf invariant of a knot, in complete agreement with earlier non-perturbative results of Witten.

Sources for Chern-Simons theories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The coupling between Chern-Simons theories and matter sources defined by branes of different dimensionalities is examined. It is shown that the standard coupling to membranes, such as the one found in supergravity or in string theory, does not operate in the same way for CS theories; the only p-branes that naturally couple seem to be those with p=2n ...

Effective field theories for interacting boundaries of 3D topological crystalline insulators through bosonisation [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
Here, we analyse two Dirac fermion species in two spatial dimensions in the presence of general quartic contact interactions. By employing functional bosonisation techniques, we demonstrate that depending on the couplings of the fermion interactions the ...

New T-duality for Chern-Simons theory [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2019
It has recently pointed out that a four-dimensional analog of Chern-Simons theory provides an elegant framework for understanding integrable models with spectral parameters.

Unification of gauge and gravity Chern–Simons theories in 3-D space-time [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2017
Chamseddine and Mukhanov showed that gravity and gauge theories could be unified in one geometric construction provided that a metricity condition is imposed on the vielbein.

Chern-Simons perturbation theory. II

open access: bronzeJournal of Differential Geometry, 1994
In a previous paper [\AS], we used superspace techniques to prove that perturbation theory (around a classical solution with no zero modes) for Chern--Simons quantum field theory on a general $3$-manifold $M$ is finite. We conjectured (and proved for the case of $2$-loops) that, after adding counterterms of the expected form, the terms in the ...
