Higher-group symmetries and weak gravity conjecture mixing
In four-dimensional axion electrodynamics, a Chern-Simons coupling of the form θF ^ F leads to a higher-group global symmetry between background gauge fields.

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

Gauss Law Constraints in Chern-Simons Theory From BRST Quantization [PDF]
The physical state condition in the BRST quantization of Chern-Simons field theory is used to derive Gauss law constraints in the presence of Wilson loops, which play an important role in explicitly establishing the connection of Chern-Simons field ...

Equivalence of the Chern-Simons state and the Hartle-Hawking and Vilenkin wave functions [PDF]
We show that the Chern-Simons (CS) state when reduced to mini-superspace is the Fourier dual of the Hartle-Hawking (HH) and Vilenkin (V) wave-functions of the Universe.

Topological field theories emerge at low energy in strongly correlated condensed matter systems and appear in the context of planar gravity. In particular, the study of Chern-Simons terms gives rise to the concept of flux attachment when the gauge field ...

The Chern Sectional Curvature of a Hermitian Manifold [PDF]
On a Hermitian manifold, the Chern connection can induce a metric connection on the background Riemannian manifold. We call the sectional curvature of the metric connection induced by the Chern connection the Chern sectional curvature of this Hermitian manifold.

Topological insulators are materials with spectral bands associated with an integer-valued index, manifesting through quantized bulk phenomena and robust boundary effects.

Chern-Simons orbital magnetoelectric coupling in generic insulators [PDF]
We present a Wannier-based method to calculate the Chern-Simons orbital magnetoelectric coupling in the framework of first-principles density-functional theory.

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
