Chern-Simons invariants in KK-theory [PDF]

Journal of Functional Analysis, 2019
For a unitary representation of the fundamental group of a compact smooth manifold, Atiyah, Patodi, Singer defined the so called alpha-invariant of the representation using Chern-Simons invariants. In this article using traces on C*-algebras, we define intrinsically(i.e without using Chern character) an element in KK-theory with real coefficients ...

Kähler-Chern-Simons Theory

, 1991
Kähler-Chern-Simons theory describes antiself-dual gauge fields on a four- dimensional Kähler manifold. The phase space is the space of gauge potentials, the symplectic reduction of which by the constraints of antiself-duality leads to the moduli space of antiself-dula instantons.

Teichmüller TQFT vs. Chern-Simons theory

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018
Teichmüller TQFT is a unitary 3d topological theory whose Hilbert spaces are spanned by Liouville conformal blocks. It is related but not identical to PSL(2, ℝ) Chern-Simons theory.

Fractonic Chern-Simons and BF theories

Physical Review Research, 2020
Fracton order is an intriguing new type of order which shares many common features with topological order, such as topology-dependent ground-state degeneracies, and excitations with mutual statistics.

Exceptional Chern-Simons-Matter dualities

SciPost Physics, 2019
We use conformal embeddings involving exceptional affine Kac-Moody algebras to derive new dualities of three-dimensional topological field theories. These generalize the familiar level-rank duality of Chern-Simons theories based on classical gauge ...

Chern-Simons gauge theory as a string theory [PDF]

, 1995
Certain two dimensional topological field theories can be interpreted as string theory backgrounds in which the usual decoupling of ghosts and matter does not hold. Like ordinary string models, these can sometimes be given space-time interpretations. For instance, three-dimensional Chern-Simons gauge theory can arise as a string theory. The world-sheet

SL(2, ℤ) dualities of boundary conditions in Abelian M2-brane SCFTs

Journal of High Energy Physics
We propose SL(2, ℤ) dualities of supersymmetric boundary conditions in the three-dimensional supersymmetric field theories describing a semi-infinite M2-brane terminating on M5-branes. Specifically, we present dualities of boundary conditions for Abelian

Lambda models from Chern-Simons theories

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018
In this paper we refine and extend the results of [1], where a connection between the AdS 5 × S 5 superstring lambda model on S 1 = ∂D and a double Chern-Simons (CS) theory on D based on the Lie superalgebra p s u $$ \mathfrak{p}\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{u} $
