Embedding three-dimensional bosonization dualities into string theory
We give simple string theory embeddings of several recently introduced dualities between 2+1-dimensional Chern-Simons matter theories using probe brane holography.

PERTURBATIVE CHERN-SIMONS THEORY [PDF]
We present the perturbation theory of the Chern-Simons gauge field theory and prove that to second order it indeed gives knot invariants. We identify these invariants and show that in fact we get a previously unknown integral formula for the Arf invariant of a knot, in complete agreement with earlier non-perturbative results of Witten.

New T-duality for Chern-Simons theory
It has recently pointed out that a four-dimensional analog of Chern-Simons theory provides an elegant framework for understanding integrable models with spectral parameters.

Roman Jackiw and Chern–Simons theories [PDF]
I recount my personal experience interacting with Roman Jackiw in the 1980s, when we both worked on Chern-Simons theories in three dimensions.

Supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory as higher Chern-Simons theory
We observe that the string field theory actions for the topological sigma models describe higher or categorified Chern-Simons theories. These theories yield dynamical equations for connective structures on higher principal bundles.

The matrix Chern–Simons one-form as a Universal Chern–Simons theory [PDF]
We consider different large ${\cal N}$ limits of the one-dimensional Chern-Simons action $i\int dt~ \Tr (\del_0 +A_0)$ where $A_0$ is an ${\cal N}\times{\cal N}$ antihermitian matrix. The Hilbert space on which $A_0$ acts as a linear transformation is taken as the quantization of a $2k$-dimensional phase space ${\cal M}$ with different gauge field ...

Vertex operator algebras and topologically twisted Chern-Simons-matter theories
We consider several topologically twisted Chern-Simons-matter theories and propose boundary VOAs whose module categories should model the category of line operators of the 3d bulk.

A note on noncommutative Chern–Simons theories [PDF]
The three dimensional Chern-Simons theory on $\rr^2_θ\times \rr$ is studied. Considering the gauge transformations under the group elements which are going to one at infinity, we show that under arbitrary (finite) gauge transformations action changes with an integer multiple of $2π$ {\it if}, the level of noncommutaitive Chern-Simons is {\it quantized}.

Localization and duality for ABJM latitude Wilson loops
We investigate several aspects of BPS latitude Wilson loops in gauge theories in three dimensions with N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ ≥ 4 supersymmetry. We derive a matrix model for the bosonic latitude Wilson loop in ABJM using supersymmetric localization, and ...
