Chern character for totally disconnected groups [PDF]

, 2009
In this paper we construct a bivariant Chern character for the equivariant $ KK $-theory of a totally disconnected group with values in bivariant equivariant cohomology in the sense of Baum and Schneider.

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} $

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

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.

On the Doubling Phenomenon in Lattice Chern-Simons Theories

, 2001
We analyse the pure Chern-Simons theory on an Euclidean infinite lattice. We point out that, as a consequence of its symmetries, the Chern-Simons theory does not have an integrable kernel.

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$^{2}$.

Canonical sectors of five-dimensional Chern–Simons theories

, 2005
The dynamics of five-dimensional Chern–Simons theories is analyzed. These theories are characterized by intricate self couplings which give rise to dynamical features not present in standard theories.

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 ...
