Higher Chern-Simons based on (2-)crossed modules [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023
We present higher Chern-Simons theories based on (2-)crossed modules. We start from the generalized differential forms in Generalized Differential Calculus and define the corresponding generalized connections which consist of higher connections.

Symmetries of abelian Chern-Simons theories and arithmetic

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021
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.

Chern-Simons invariants from ensemble averages [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021
We discuss ensemble averages of two-dimensional conformal field theories associated with an arbitrary indefinite lattice with integral quadratic form Q.

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

Scientific 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 ...

Integrability in gravity from Chern-Simons theory [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics
This paper presents a new perspective on integrability in theories of gravity. We show how the stationary, axisymmetric sector of General Relativity can be described by the boundary dynamics of a four-dimensional Chern-Simons theory.

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

Journal 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.

On the L ∞ formulation of Chern-Simons theories

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022
L ∞ algebras have been largely studied as algebraic frameworks in the formulation of gauge theories in which the gauge symmetries and the dynamics of the interacting theories are contained in a set of products acting on a graded vector space.

Exact results and Schur expansions in quiver Chern-Simons-matter theories [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020
We study several quiver Chern-Simons-matter theories on the three-sphere, combining the matrix model formulation with a systematic use of Mordell’s integral, computing partition functions and checking dualities.

Fermionic CFTs from topological boundaries in abelian Chern-Simons theories

Journal of High Energy Physics
A quantum field theory is referred to as bosonic (non-spin) if its physical quantities are independent of the spacetime spin structure, and as fermionic (spin) if they depend on it.
