We briefly review the Coset Space Dimensional Reduction (CSDR) programme and the best model constructed so far and then we present some details of the corresponding programme in the case that the extra dimensions are considered to be fuzzy.…
In this paper, we present a systematic study of the Chern--Simons theory with gauge group \(\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})\times\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})\) restricted to a wedge-identified manifold in the hyperbolic upper-half-space. The wedge…
We study the six-dimensional (2,0) superconformal field theory on S^1 x S^2 x M via compactification to five dimensions, where M is a three-manifold. Twisted along M, the five-dimensional theory has a half of N = (2,2) supersymmetry on S^2,…
We consider a certain theory of 3-forms in 7 dimensions, and study its dimensional reduction to 4D, compactifying the 7-dimensional manifold on the 3-sphere of a fixed radius. We show that the resulting 4D theory is General Relativity (GR)…
It has been a long-standing problem how to relate Chern-Simons theory to the quantum groups. In this paper we recover the classical $r$-matrix directly from a 3-dimensional Chern-Simons theory with boundary conditions, thus creating a…
Based on the realization of three-algebras in terms of algebra of matrices and four-brackets [arXiv:0807.1570] we present the notion of u(N)-based extended three-algebras, which for N=2 reproduces the Bagger-Lambert three-algebra. Using…
The three dimensional N=2 supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory coupled to matter fields, possibly deformed by a superpotential, give rise to a large class of exactly conformal theories with Lagrangian descriptions. These theories can be…
We examine gauge theories on Minkowski space-time times fuzzy coset spaces. This means that the extra space dimensions instead of being a continuous coset space S/R are a corresponding finite matrix approximation. The gauge theory defined…
In this paper, we will analyze a three dimensional supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory on a manifold with a boundary. The boundary we will consider in this paper will be defined by $n\cdot x=0$, where $n$ is a light-like vector. It will be…
We study the most general renormalizable ${\cal N}=1$ $U(N)$ Chern-Simons gauge theory coupled to a single (generically massive) fundamental matter multiplet. At leading order in the 't Hooft large $N$ limit we present computations and…
We study some properties of topological Chern-Simons vortices in 2 + 1 dimensions. As has already been understood in the past, in the large magnetic flux limit, they are well described by a Chern-Simons domain wall, which has been…
In this work the generation of generalized Chern-Simons terms in three dimensional quantum electrodynamics with high spatial derivatives is studied. We analyze the self-energy corrections to the gauge field propagator by considering an…
The three dimensional exact R symmetry of N=2 SCFTs extremizes the partition function localized on a three sphere. Here we verify this statement at weak coupling. We give a detailed analysis for two classes of models. The first one is an…
In this note we consider the symplectic reduction of a four-dimensional holomorphic Chern-Simons theory recently introduced in arXiv:1908.02289 for describing integrable field theories. We work out explicitly the case of the lambda deformed…
We study linearized equations of motion of the newly proposed three dimensional gravity, known as minimal massive gravity, using its metric formulation. We observe that the resultant linearized equations are exactly the same as that of TMG…
We study symmetry reductions in the context of Euclidean Chern-Simons gauge theories to obtain lower dimensional field theories. Symmetry reduction in certain gauge theories is a common tool for obtaining explicit soliton solutions.…

We derive the general form for a three-dimensional scale-invariant field theory with N=6 supersymmetry, SU(4) R-symmetry and a U(1) global symmetry. The results can be written in terms of a 3-algebra in which the triple product is not…
We perform nonperturbative studies of the dimensionally reduced 5d Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons model, in which a four-dimensional fuzzy manifold, ``fuzzy S$^{4}$'', is known to exist as a classical solution. Although the action is unbounded…
We continue to study a certain dynamical theory of 3-forms in seven dimensions, which can be viewed as a non-linear 7D analog of the 3D Abelian Chern-Simons theory. We perform the 6+1 split and show that the theory propagates 3 degrees of…
