A topological gauge field theory in one spatial dimension is studied, with the gauge fields as generators of two commuting U(1) Ka\u{c}-Moody algebras. Coupling of these gauge fields to nonrelativistic bosonic matter fields, produces a…
The Abelian Chern-Simons gauge theory is constructed on the three-dimensional spacetime lattice. This proposal introduces both lattice and dual lattice, and the gauge field on the dual lattice is expressed in terms of the gauge field on the…
We perform the canonical Hamiltonian analysis of a topological gauge theory, that can be seen both as a theory defined on a four dimensional spacetime region with boundaries --the bulk theory--, or as a theory defined on the boundary of the…
The electrodynamical response of the edge of a compressible Quantum Hall system affects tunneling into the edge. Using the composite Fermi liquid theory, we derive an effective action for the edge modes interacting with tunneling charge.…
We consider toy models of holography arising from 3d Chern-Simons theory. In this context a duality to an ensemble average over 2d CFTs has been recently proposed. We put forward an alternative approach in which, rather than summing over…

The chiral Luttinger liquid theory for fractional quantum Hall edge transport predicts universal power-law behavior in the current-voltage ($I$-$V$) characteristics for electrons tunneling into the edge. However, it has not been…
It has been recently realized that strong interactions in topological Bloch bands give rise to the appearance of novel states of matter. Here we study connections between these systems -- fractional Chern insulators and the fractional…
We construct an explicit bulk dual in anti-de Sitter space, with couplings of order $1/N$, for the $SU(N)$-singlet sector of QED in $d$ space-time dimensions ($2 < d < 4$) coupled to $N$ scalar fields. We begin from the bulk dual for the…
The chiral Luttinger model for the edges of the fractional quantum Hall effect is obtained as the low energy limit of the Chern-Simons theory for the two dimensional system. In particular we recover the Kac-Moody algebra for the creation…
The level-k U(1) Chern-Simons theory is a spin topological quantum field theory for k odd. Its dynamics is captured by the 2d CFT of a compact boson with a certain radius. Recently it was recognized that a dependence on the 2d spin…
An effective Chern-Simons theory for the quantum Hall states with edges is studied by treating the edge and bulk properties in a unified fashion. An exact steady-state solution is obtained for a half-plane geometry using the Wiener-Hopf…
We engineer compact SU(5) Grand Unified Theories in F-theory in which GUT-breaking is achieved by a discrete Wilson line. Because the internal gauge field is flat, these models avoid the high scale threshold corrections associated with…
