S-duality resurgence in SL(2) Chern-Simons theory
We find that an S-duality in SL(2) Chern-Simons theory for hyperbolic 3-manifolds emerges by the Borel resummation of a semiclassical expansion around a particular flat connection associated to the hyperbolic structure. We demonstrate it numerically with

Chern-Simons forms for R-linear connections on Lie algebroids
This paper considers the Chern–Simons forms for [Formula: see text]-linear connections on Lie algebroids. A generalized Chern–Simons formula for such [Formula: see text]-linear connections is obtained. We apply it to define the Chern character and secondary characteristic classes for [Formula: see text]-linear connections of Lie algebroids.

Chern-Simons Field Theory and Completely Integrable Systems [PDF]
We show that the classical non-abelian pure Chern-Simons action is related in a natural way to completely integrable systems of the Davey-Stewartson hyerarchy, via reductions of the gauge connection in Hermitian spaces and by performing certain gauge ...

On Kähler-like and G-Kähler-like almost Hermitian manifolds
We introduce Kähler-like, G-Kähler-like metrics on almost Hermitian manifolds. We prove that a compact Kähler-like and G-Kähler-like almost Hermitian manifold equipped with an almost balanced metric is Kähler.

Chern connection of a pseudo-Finsler metric as a family of affine connections [PDF]
We consider the Chern connection of a (conic) pseudo-Finsler manifold $(M,L)$ as a linear connection $\nabla^V$ on any open subset $ \subset M$ associated to any vector field $V$ on $ $ which is non-zero everywhere. This connection is torsion-free and almost metric compatible with respect to the fundamental tensor $g$. Then we show some properties of

Quantum geometry probed by chiral excitonic optical response of Chern insulators [PDF]
We theoretically derive the sum rule for the negative first moment of the absorptive optical conductivity with excitonic effects and establish its connection to the quantum weight $K$ and Chern number $C$ of the ground state.

L lines, C points and Chern numbers: understanding band structure topology using polarization fields
Topology has appeared in different physical contexts. The most prominent application is topologically protected edge transport in condensed matter physics. The Chern number, the topological invariant of gapped Bloch Hamiltonians, is an important quantity

Complete factorization in minimal N=4 $$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ Chern-Simons-matter theory
We investigate an N=4UNk×UN+M−k $$ \mathcal{N} = 4\;\mathrm{U}{(N)}_k\times \mathrm{U}{\left(N+M\right)}_{-k} $$ Chern-Simons theory coupled to one bifundamental hypermultiplet by employing its partition function, which is given by 2N + M dimensional ...
