Chern-Simons Forms in Gravitation Theories

open access: yes, 2012
The Chern-Simons (CS) form evolved from an obstruction in mathematics into an important object in theoretical physics. In fact, the presence of CS terms in physics is more common than one may think: they seem to play an important role in high Tc ...

Flows, fixed points and duality in Chern-Simons-matter theories

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2018
It has been conjectured that 3d fermions minimally coupled to Chern-Simons gauge fields are dual to 3d critical scalars, also minimally coupled to Chern-Simons gauge fields.

Chern-Simons invariants in KK-theory [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Non-Abelian fractional quantum Hall states and chiral coset conformal field theories

open access: yes, 2000
We propose an effective Lagrangian for the low energy theory of the Pfaffian states of the fractional quantum Hall effect in the bulk in terms of non-Abelian Chern-Simons (CS) actions.

Chern-Simons theory, decomposition, and the A model

open access: yesJournal 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 ...
