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

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.

Chiral gravitational waves in Palatini-Chern-Simons gravity [PDF]
We study the parity-breaking higher-curvature gravity theory of Chern-Simons (CS), using the Palatini formulation in which the metric and connection are taken to be independent fields.

An inner product for 4D quantum gravity and the Chern–Simons–Kodama state [PDF]
We demonstrate that reality conditions for the Ashtekar connection imply a non-trivial measure for the inner product of gravitational states in the polarization where the Ashtekar connection is diagonal, and we express the measure as the determinant of a

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