Chern-Simons theory, decomposition, and the A model

Journal of High Energy Physics
In this paper, we discuss how gauging one-form symmetries in Chern-Simons theories is implemented in an A-twisted topological open string theory. For example, the contribution from a fixed H/Z bundle on a three-manifold M, arising in a BZ gauging of H ...

Aspects Of Supergroup Chern-Simons Theories

, 2015
The three-dimensional Chern-Simons gauge theory is a topological quantum field theory, whose correlation functions give metric-independent invariants of knots and three-manifolds.

Note on Monopole Operators in Chern-Simons-Matter Theories

, 2018
Monopole operators in Chern-Simons theories with charged matter have been studied using the state-operator map in CFTs, as states on ℝ × S$^{2}$ with background magnetic flux on S$^{2}$.

Adjusting Higher Chern-Simons Theory

A fundamental problem in formulating higher Chern-Simons theories is the construction of a consistent higher gauge theory that circumvents the fake-flatness constraint. Here, we propose a solution to this problem using adjusted higher connections.

Gapless Infinite-component Chern-Simons-Maxwell Theories

, 2022
The infinite-component Chern-Simons-Maxwell (iCSM) theory is a 3+1D generalization of the 2+1D Chern-Simons-Maxwell theory by including an infinite number of coupled gauge fields. It can be used to describe interesting 3+1D systems. In Phys. Rev.

Gravity and Gauge [PDF]

, 2012
Philosophers of physics and physicists have long been intrigued by the analogies and disanalogies between gravitational theories and (Yang-Mills-type) gauge theories.

Large N Chern-Simons-matter fixed points with multiple flavors

Journal of High Energy Physics
In this paper we analyze the 2 + 1d conformal fixed points arising from SU(N c ) Chern-Simons-matter theories with multiple flavors N f > 1 in the ’t Hooft large N c limit. The multi-flavor generalization of quasi-fermionic theories (fermions or critical

Topological aspects of non-abelian Chern-Simons theory [PDF]

openWe introduce the non-abelian Chern-Simons functional in 3 dimensions and the corresponding partition function. Via the Faddeev-Popov gauge fixing procedure and the stationary phase approximation we evaluate the 1-loop contribution to the partition ...

Chern-Simons theory

L’objectiu d’aquest TFG és demostrar que el conjunt de punts crítics de l’acció clàssica de Chern-Simons per a una varietat espai-temps tridimensional tancada $M$ i un grup de Lie compacte i simplement connex $G$ és el conjunt de connexions planes de $G$ sobre $M$. Per establir aquest resultat, primer desenvolupem la teoria fonamental dels grups de Lie,

Gauging the diamond: integrable coset models from twistor space

Journal of High Energy Physics
Recent work has shown that certain integrable and conformal field theories in two dimensions can be given a higher-dimensional origin from holomorphic Chern-Simons in six dimensions. Along with anti-self-dual Yang-Mills and four-dimensional Chern-Simons,
