We present a construction of the double copy for gauge theories that exhibit off-shell color-kinematics duality within the Batalin-Vilkovitsky (BV) formalism. As illustrative examples, we consider the double copies of Chern-Simons theory,…

In this paper a class of multi-Chern-Simons field theories which is relevant to the statistical mechanics of polymer systems is investigated. Motivated by the problems which one encounters in the treatment of these theories, a general…
This is the first in a series of papers which analyze the problem of quantizing the theory coupling Kodaira-Spencer gravity (or BCOV theory) on Calabi-Yau manifolds using the formalism for perturbative QFT developed by the first author. In…
The Chern-Simons approach has been widely used to explain fractional quantum Hall states in the framework of trial wave functions. In the present paper, we generalise the concept of Chern-Simons transformations to systems with any number of…
This paper is mainly based on the talk I presented at the meeting "The Philosophy and Physics of Noether's Theorems" that took place 5-6 October 2018, but it also contains some original results that were inspired by discussions with…
We apply newly improved Batalin-Fradkin-Tyutin Hamiltonian method to the chiral Schwinger Model in the case of the regularization ambiguity $a>1$. We show that one can systematically construct the first class constraints by the BFT…
We present a new proof for the Chern-Gauss-Bonnet theorem. We represent the Euler class integral as the partition function for zero-dimensional field theory with on-shell supersymmetry. We rewrite the supersymmetric partition function as a…
We reconsider the Abelian pure Chern-Simons theory in three dimensions by using our improved Batalin-Fradkin-Tyutin Hamiltonian formalism. As a result, we show several novel features, including the connection of the Dirac brackets. In…
In this paper we recover the non-perturbative partition function of 2D~Yang-Mills theory from the perturbative path integral. To achieve this goal, we study the perturbative path integral quantization for 2D~Yang-Mills theory on surfaces…
We study the perturbation theory for three dimensional Chern--Simons quantum field theory on a general compact three manifold without boundary. We show that after a simple change of variables, the action obtained by BRS gauge fixing in the…
The BRST quantization of matrix Chern-Simons theory is carried out, the symmetries of the theory are analysed and used to constrain the form of the effective action.
These lectures are an introduction to formal semiclassical quantization of classical field theory. First we develop the Hamiltonian formalism for classical field theories on space time with boundary. It does not have to be a cylinder as in…
We construct a Chern-Simons gauge theory for dg Lie and L-infinity algebras on any one-dimensional manifold and quantize this theory using the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism and Costello's renormalization techniques. Koszul duality and…
We consider the Gopakumar-Ooguri-Vafa correspondence, relating ${\rm U}(N)$ Chern-Simons theory at large $N$ to topological strings, in the context of spherical Seifert 3-manifolds. These are quotients $\mathbb{S}^{\Gamma} =…
In this paper, we will analyse a three dimensional supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory in SIM(1) superspace formalism. The breaking of the Lorentz symmetry down to the SIM(1) symmetry, breaks half the supersymmetry of the Lorentz invariant…
The Batalin-Vilkovisky method (BV) is the most powerful method to analyze functional integrals with (infinite-dimensional) gauge symmetries presently known. It has been invented to fix gauges associated with symmetries that do not close…
Chern-Simons theory coupled to complex scalars is quantized on the light- front in the local light-cone gauge by constructing the self-consistent hamiltonian theory. It is shown that no inconsistency arises on using two local gauge-fixing…
These theories, which are surely some of the simplest possible quantum field theories, were introduced in a paper of Dijkgraaf and Witten. The path integral reduces to a finite sum, so it is quite amenable to direct mathematical study.…
In present paper a quantization scheme proposed recently by Morris (arXiv:1806.02206[hep-th]) is analyzed. This method is based on idea to combine the renormalization group with the BV-formalism in an unique quantization procedure. It is…
