The colored Jones polynomials as vortex partition functions

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2021
We construct 3D N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 abelian gauge theories on S $$ \mathbbm{S} $$ 2 × S $$ \mathbbm{S} $$ 1 labeled by knot diagrams whose K-theoretic vortex partition functions, each of which is a building block of twisted indices, give the colored ...

Perturbative and Non-perturbative Aspects of the Chern-Simons-Witten Theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We investigate a relation between non-perturbative and perturbative cases in the 2+1 dimensional Chern-Simons- Witten (CSW) theory for G = E6 gauge group.

Engineering Topological Phases with a Traveling‐Wave Spacetime Modulation

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, Volume 20, Issue 7, 6 April 2026.
Time‐varying systems have garnered considerable attention due to their unique potential in manipulating electromagnetic waves. Here, a novel class of topological spacetime crystals with a traveling‐wave modulation is introduced. By manipulating material anisotropy, one can engineer light angular momentum and non‐trivial topological phases characterized

The quantum theory of Chern-Simons supergravity [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2019
Abstract We consider AdS 3 N-extended Chern-Simons supergravity (à la Achucarro-Townsend) and we study its gauge symmetries. We promote those gauge symmetries to a BRST symmetry and we perform its quantization by choosing suitable gauge-fixings. The resulting quantum theories have different features which we

Tests of Seiberg-like dualities in three dimensions

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2020
We use localization techniques to study several duality proposals for supersymmetric gauge theories in three dimensions reminiscent of Seiberg duality. We compare the partition functions of dual theories deformed by real mass terms and FI parameters.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Swampland: The Cosmologist's Handbook to the String‐Theoretical Swampland Programme

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract String theory has strong implications for cosmology, implying the absence of a cosmological constant, ruling out single‐field slow‐roll inflation, and that black holes decay. The origins of these statements are elucidated within the string‐theoretical swampland programme.

Gauge and supersymmetry invariance of N=2 boundary Chern–Simons theory

open access: yesNuclear Physics B, 2017
In this paper, we study the restoration of gauge symmetry and up to half the supersymmetry (N=(2,0) or N=(1,1) in two dimensions) for N=2 non-Abelian Chern–Simons theories in the presence of a boundary.

Chern-simons coefficient in supersymmetric non-abelian chern-simons higgs theories

open access: yes, 1999
By taking into account the effect of the would be Chern-Simons term, we calculate the quantum correction to the Chern-Simons coefficient in supersymmetric Chern-Simons Higgs theories with matter fields in the fundamental representation of SU(n).
