Remarks on Chern-Simons theory [PDF]
Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, 2009 In the late 1980s Witten used the Chern-Simons form of a connection to construct new invariants of 3-manifolds and knots, recovering in particular the Jones invariants. Since then the associated topological quantum field theory (TQFT) has served as a key example in understanding the structure of TQFTs in general. We survey some of that structure with a

Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract String theory has strong implications for cosmology, implying the absence of a cosmological constant, ruling out single‐field slow‐roll inflation, and that black holes decay. The origins of these statements are elucidated within the string‐theoretical swampland programme.

Integrability in gravity from Chern-Simons theory
Journal of High Energy PhysicsThis 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.

Gauge and supersymmetry invariance of N=2 boundary Chern–Simons theory
Nuclear Physics B, 2017 In this paper, we study the restoration of gauge symmetry and up to half the supersymmetry (N=(2,0) or N=(1,1) in two dimensions) for N=2 non-Abelian Chern–Simons theories in the presence of a boundary.

Pictures from super Chern-Simons theory [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 Abstract We study super-Chern-Simons theory on a generic supermanifold. After a self-contained review of integration on supermanifolds, the complexes of forms (superforms, pseudoforms and integral forms) and the extended Cartan calculus are discussed.

Exact local distribution of the absolutely continuous spectral measure
Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 132, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract It is well‐established that the spectral measure for one‐frequency Schrödinger operators with Diophantine frequencies exhibits optimal 1/2$1/2$‐Hölder continuity within the absolutely continuous spectrum (Avila and Jitomirskaya, Commun. Math. Phys. 301 (2011), 563–581).

Exact results and Schur expansions in quiver Chern-Simons-matter theories
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We study several quiver Chern-Simons-matter theories on the three-sphere, combining the matrix model formulation with a systematic use of Mordell’s integral, computing partition functions and checking dualities.

Chern-Simons perturbation theory. II
Journal of Differential Geometry, 1994 In a previous paper [\AS], we used superspace techniques to prove that perturbation theory (around a classical solution with no zero modes) for Chern--Simons quantum field theory on a general $3$-manifold $M$ is finite. We conjectured (and proved for the case of $2$-loops) that, after adding counterterms of the expected form, the terms in the ...

Equivariant toric geometry and Euler–Maclaurin formulae
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 79, Issue 3, Page 451-557, March 2026.Abstract We first investigate torus‐equivariant motivic characteristic classes of toric varieties, and then apply them via the equivariant Riemann–Roch formalism to prove very general Euler–Maclaurin‐type formulae for full‐dimensional simple lattice polytopes.
