Chern-Simons forms for R-linear connections on Lie algebroids [PDF]

open access: green, 2011
The Chern-Simons forms for R-linear connections on Lie algebroids are considered. A generalized Chern-Simons formula for such R-linear connections is obtained. We it apply to define Chern character and secondary characteristic classes for R-linear connections of Lie algebroids.

Non-self-dual Yang-Mills connections with nonzero Chern number [PDF]

open access: diamondBulletin of the American Mathematical Society, 1991
We prove the existence of non-self-dual Yang-Mills connections on SU(2) bundles over the four-sphere with standard Riemannian metric. In particular, our proof covers all bundles with second Chern number \(C_ 2\neq \pm 1.\) Existence on the trivial bundle \(C_ 2=0\) was previously established by \textit{L. M. Sibner}, \textit{R. J.

Emergent Berry Curvature in Inversion-Symmetric Photonic Crystals for Ultraconfined Topological States. [PDF]

open access: yesAdv Mater
In this work, nonzero Berry curvature in photonic crystals is induced by breaking unit cell inversion symmetry through spatial shifts rather than geometrical modifications. This enables the design of ultraconfined topological states with subwavelength in‐plane field confinement and out‐of‐plane field isolation.

GENERALIZED ABELIAN CHERN-SIMONS THEORIES AND THEIR CONNECTION TO CONFORMAL FIELD THEORIES [PDF]

open access: greenInternational Journal of Modern Physics A, 1992
We discuss the generalization of Abelian Chern-Simons theories when θ-angles and magnetic monopoles are included. We map these three dimensional theories into sectors of two-dimensional conformal field theories. The introduction of θ-angles allows us to establish in a consistent fashion a connection between Abelian Chern-Simons and 2-d free scalar ...

On an {\it a priori} $L^\infty$ estimate for a class of Monge-Ampère type equations on compact almost Hermitian manifolds

open access: yesCubo, 2022
We investigate Monge-Amp\`ere type equations on almost Hermitian manifolds and show an \textit{a priori} $L^\infty$ estimate for a smooth solution of these equations.

General solutions in Chern-Simons gravity and T T ¯ $$ T\overline{T} $$ -deformations

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2021
We find the most general solution to Chern-Simons AdS3 gravity in Fefferman-Graham gauge. The connections are equivalent to geometries that have a non-trivial curved boundary, characterized by a 2-dimensional vielbein and a spin connection.

Connections on Lie groupoids and Chern–Weil theory

open access: yesReviews in Mathematical Physics, 2023
Let [Formula: see text] be a Lie groupoid equipped with a connection, given by a smooth distribution [Formula: see text] transversal to the fibers of the source map. Under the assumption that the distribution [Formula: see text] is integrable, we define a version of de Rham cohomology for the pair [Formula: see text], and we study connections on ...
