Symmetries of abelian Chern-Simons theories and arithmetic
We determine the unitary and anti-unitary Lagrangian and quantum symmetries of arbitrary abelian Chern-Simons theories. The symmetries depend sensitively on the arithmetic properties (e.g.

Algebraic Chern-Simons theory [PDF]
A theory of secondary characteristic classes analogous to the classical Chern-Simons theory is developed for algebraic vector bundles. Applications are made to questions involving finer charcterisitic classes for bundles with connection and to the Griffiths group of algebraic cycles.

Chern-Simons theory on the lattice [PDF]
We present new proposals for the representation of a Chern-Simons term on the lattice. In the first part, such a term is constructed from the fermion determinant, and in the second part directly from the Abelian gauge term. In both cases, the parity transformation is modified on the lattice without affecting its continuum limit.

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.

The Hilbert space of large N Chern-Simons matter theories
We demonstrate that the known expressions for the thermal partition function of large N Chern-Simons matter theories admit a simple Hilbert space interpretation as the partition function of an associated ungauged large N matter theory with one additional

One-Dimensional Chern-Simons Theory [PDF]
We study a one-dimensional toy version of the Chern-Simons theory. We construct its simplicial version which comprises features of a low-energy effective gauge theory and of a topological quantum field theory in the sense of Atiyah.

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.

Rank-expanding satellites, Whitehead doubles, and Heegaard Floer homology. [PDF]
Abstract We show that a large class of satellite operators are rank‐expanding; that is, they map some rank‐one subgroup of the concordance group onto an infinite linearly independent set. Our work constitutes the first systematic study of this property in the literature and partially affirms a conjecture of the second author and Pinzón‐Caicedo.
