We explicitly find representations for different large $N$ phases of Chern-Simons matter theory on $S^2\times S^1$. These representations are characterised by Young diagrams. We show that no-gap and lower-gap phase of Chern-Simons-matter…
We introduce parity-odd spin-1 harmonic functions in AdS$_3$ and study their properties. We demonstrate that such parity-odd harmonics are related to their parity-even counterparts through the action of a `Chern-Simons operator', which we…
Let $M$ be a 3-manifold with a finite set $X(M)$ of conjugacy classes of representations $\rho:\pi_1(M)\to$SU$_2$. We study here the distribution of the values of the Chern-Simons function CS$:X(M)\to \mathbb{R}/2\pi\mathbb{Z}$. We observe…
We revisit the 3d ${\cal N}=5$ Chern-Simons-Matter theory with orthosymplectic gauge group and its gravity dual from the perspective of generalized symmetries. We derive the corresponding 4d symmetry topological field theory from the…
The three-dimensional Abelian Chern-Simons theory coupled to a scalar and a fermionic field of arbitrary charge is considered in order to study conformal symmetry breakdown and the effective potential stability. We present an improved…
In the past few years, the unifying frameworks of 4-dimensional Chern-Simons theory and affine Gaudin models have allowed for the systematic construction of a large family of integrable $\sigma$-models. These models depend on the data of a…
We study resurgence properties of partition function of SU(2) Chern-Simons theory (WRT invariant) on closed three-manifolds. We check explicitly that in various examples Borel transforms of asymptotic expansions posses expected analytic…
We consider the conformal higher spin (CHS) theory in d=4 that contains the s=1 Maxwell vector, s=2 Weyl graviton and their higher spin s=3,4,... counterparts with higher-derivative \box^s kinetic terms. The interacting action for such…
In this note, we compute the higher spin spectrum of $U(M)_k$ Chern-Simons theory coupled to $N$ flavours of fundamental fermions, in the limit $N\gg M$ with the 't Hooft coupling $\lambda_M =\frac{N}{k_m}$ held fixed, to order $M/N$. This…
It is well known that rational 2D conformal field theories are connected with Chern-Simons theories defined on 3D real manifolds. We consider holomorphic analogues of Chern-Simons theories defined on 3D complex manifolds (six real…
We calculate the low-energy spectral weight of a holographic superfluid coupled to a Chern-Simons term in IR radial scaling geometries characterized by a parameter $\eta$. This work was motivated by previous results where an unexpected…
We study two-dimensional integrable field theories from the viewpoint of the four-dimensional Chern-Simons-type gauge theory introduced recently. The integrable field theories are realized as effective theories for the four-dimensional…
We investigate non-relativistic limits of the N=3 Chern-Simons matter system in 1+2 dimensions. The relativistic theory can generate several inequivalent super Schodinger invariant theories, depending on the degrees of freedom we choose to…
Witten constructed a topological quantum field theory with the Chern-Simons action as Lagrangian. We define a Chern-Simons action for 3-dimensional spectral triples. We prove gauge invariance of the Chern-Simons action, and we prove that it…
We study four-dimensional Chern-Simons theory on $D \times \mathbb{C}$ (where $D$ is a disk), which is understood to describe rational solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation from the work of Costello, Witten and Yamazaki. We find that the…
We study the relation between the frame-like and metric-like formulation of higher-spin gauge theories in three space-time dimensions. We concentrate on the theory that is described by an SL(3) x SL(3) Chern-Simons theory in the frame-like…
This paper presents an improvement to the four-dimensional spinfoam model with cosmological constant ($\Lambda$-SF model) in loop quantum gravity. The original $\Lambda$-SF model, defined via ${\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ Chern-Simons theory on…
Large N duality conjecture between U(N) Chern-Simons gauge theory on $S^3$ and A-model topological string theory on the resolved conifold was verified at the level of partition function and Wilson loop observables. As a consequence, the…
We show that matrix models in Chern-Simons theory admit an interpretation as 1D exactly solvable models, paralleling the relationship between the Gaussian matrix model and the Calogero model. We compute the corresponding Hamiltonians,…
In this work, we propose a new and simple model that supports Chern semimetals. These new gapless topological phases share several properties with the Chern insulators like a well-defined Chern number associated to each band, topologically…
