Symmetries of abelian Chern-Simons theories and arithmetic [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 We determine the unitary and anti-unitary Lagrangian and quantum symmetries of arbitrary abelian Chern-Simons theories. The symmetries depend sensitively on the arithmetic properties (e.g.

Rank-expanding satellites, Whitehead doubles, and Heegaard Floer homology. [PDF]
J TopolAbstract We show that a large class of satellite operators are rank‐expanding; that is, they map some rank‐one subgroup of the concordance group onto an infinite linearly independent set. Our work constitutes the first systematic study of this property in the literature and partially affirms a conjecture of the second author and Pinzón‐Caicedo.

Decomposition in Chern-Simons theories in three dimensions [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2022 In this paper we discuss decomposition in the context of three-dimensional Chern-Simons theories. Specifically, we argue that a Chern-Simons theory with a gauged noneffectively-acting one-form symmetry is equivalent to a disjoint union of Chern-Simons ...

Topological reflected entropy in Chern-Simons theories [PDF]
, 2020 We study the reflected entropy between two spatial regions in $(2+1)$-dimensional Chern-Simons theories. Taking advantage of its replica trick formulation, the reflected entropy is computed using the edge theory approach and the surgery method.

Exact results for Wilson loops in superconformal Chern-Simons theories with matter [PDF]
, 2009 We use localization techniques to compute the expectation values of supersymmetric Wilson loops in Chern-Simons theories with matter. We find the path-integral reduces to a non-Gaussian matrix model. The Wilson loops we consider preserve a single complex

Nonrelativistic Chern-Simons theories and three-dimensional Hořava-Lifshitz gravity [PDF]
, 2016 We show that certain three-dimensional Ho\ifmmode \check{r}\else \v{r}\fi{}ava-Lifshitz gravity theories can be written as Chern-Simons gauge theories on various nonrelativistic algebras. The algebras are specific extensions of the Bargmann, Newton-Hooke

QCD domain walls, Chern-Simons theories and holography [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 A bstractMassive QCD at θ = π breaks CP spontaneously and admits domain walls whose dynamics and phases depend on the number of flavors and their masses. We discuss these issues within the Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model of holographic QCD.

Edge theory approach to topological entanglement entropy, mutual information and entanglement negativity in Chern-Simons theories [PDF]

Superconformal Chern-Simons Theories and AdS(4)/CFT(3) Correspondence [PDF]
, 2008 We discuss the N = 2 superspace formulation of the N = 8 superconformal Bagger-Lambert-Gustavsson theory, and of the N = 6 superconformal Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis-Maldacena U(N) x U(N) Chern-Simons theory. In particular, we prove the full SU(4)R-symmetry
