Integrability in gravity from Chern-Simons theory [PDF]
This paper presents a new perspective on integrability in theories of gravity. We show how the stationary, axisymmetric sector of General Relativity can be described by the boundary dynamics of a four-dimensional Chern-Simons theory.

Fermionic CFTs from topological boundaries in abelian Chern-Simons theories
A quantum field theory is referred to as bosonic (non-spin) if its physical quantities are independent of the spacetime spin structure, and as fermionic (spin) if they depend on it.

Integrability from Chern-Simons theories [PDF]
This thesis details my work exploring connections between integrable systems and Chern-Simons theories. It is divided into two parts. The first concerns the application of 4d Chern-Simons theory to describe integrable models with boundary, while the ...

Three-dimensional de Sitter horizon thermodynamics
We explore thermodynamic contributions to the three-dimensional de Sitter horizon originating from metric and Chern-Simons gauge field fluctuations. In Euclidean signature these are computed by the partition function of gravity coupled to matter semi ...

Superconformal index for N=3 ADEˆ Chern-Simons quiver gauge theories
We compute superconformal indices for N=3 ADEˆ Chern-Simons quiver gauge theories with a product gauge group ∏iU(N)i, using the method of supersymmetric localization. We also perform a large N analysis of the index.

Holographic Chern–Simons Theories [PDF]
Chern-Simons theories in three dimensions are topological field theories that may have a holographic interpretation for suitable chosen gauge groups and boundary conditions on the fields. Conformal Chern-Simons gravity is a topological model of 3-dimensional gravity that exhibits Weyl invariance and allows various holographic descriptions, including ...

Vector dominance, one flavored baryons, and QCD domain walls from the "hidden" Wess-Zumino term
We further explore a recent proposal that the vector mesons in QCD have a special role as Chern-Simons fields on various QCD objects such as domain walls and the one flavored baryons.

GAUGE DEPENDENCE IN CHERN–SIMONS THEORY [PDF]
We compute the contribution to the modulus of the one-loop effective action in pure non-Abelian Chern–Simons theory in an arbitrary covariant gauge. We find that the results are dependent on both the gauge parameter (α) and the metric required in the gauge fixing.

Chern–Simons theory and the R-matrix [PDF]
It has been a long-standing problem how to relate Chern-Simons theory to the quantum groups. In this paper we recover the classical $r$-matrix directly from a 3-dimensional Chern-Simons theory with boundary conditions, thus creating a direct link to the quantum groups. It is known that the Jones polynomials can be constructed using an $R$-matrix.
