Employing the Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation it is demonstrated straightforwardly that the first and second Chern numbers are equal to the coefficients of the 2+1 and 4+1 dimensional Chern-Simons actions which are generated by the massive…
We refine and generalize the results of e-Print: 2307.10428 [hep-th], where evidence in favor of applying the non-Abelian localization method to handle the 4d Chern-Simons theory path integral formulation was presented. We show, via duality…
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…
In a first part we propose an introduction to multisymplectic formalisms, which are generalisations of Hamilton's formulation of Mechanics to the calculus of variations with several variables: we give some physical motivations, related to…
We discuss the recent developments in the generalized continuous Heisenberg ferromagnet model formulated as a nonrelativistic field theory defined on the target space of the coadjoint orbits. Hermitian symmetric spaces are special because…
The Green functions of the Chern-Simons theory quantized in the axial gauge are shown to be calculable as the unique, exact solution of the Ward identities which express the invariance of the theory under the topological supersymmetry of…
Large families of integrable 2d sigma-models have been constructed at the classical level, partly motivated by the utility of integrability on the string worldsheet. It is natural to ask whether these theories are renormalisable at the…
In this note we present a brief overview of connections between Chern-Simons theory and topological strings. A prominent role in this link has been played by large N dualities and holography. We demystify this by explaining why the Kahler…
Higher dimensional Chern-Simons theories, even though constructed along the same topological pattern as in 2+1 dimensions, have been shown recently to have generically a non-vanishing number of degrees of freedom. In this paper, we carry…
This paper further develops the combinatorial approach to quantization of the Hamiltonian Chern Simons theory advertised in \cite{AGS}. Using the theory of quantum Wilson lines, we show how the Verlinde algebra appears within the context of…
We use differential cohomology to systematically construct a large class of topological actions in physics, including Chern-Simons terms, Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten terms, and theta terms (continuous or discrete). We introduce a notion of…
We present the partition function of the refined Chern-Simons theory on $S^3$ with arbitrary A,B,C,D gauge algebra in terms of multiple sine functions. For B and C cases this representation is novel. It allows us to conjecture duality to…
A wide class of Hamiltonian systems with N degrees of freedom and endowed with, at least, (N-2) functionally independent integrals of motion in involution is constructed by making use of the two-photon Lie-Poisson coalgebra. The set of…
Motivated by a recent paper of Fock and Rosly \cite{FoRo} we describe a mathematically precise quantization of the Hamiltonian Chern-Simons theory. We introduce the Chern-Simons theory on the lattice which is expected to reproduce the…
The role of Chern-Simons (CS) actions is reviewed, starting from the observation that all classical actions in Hamiltonian form can be viewed as 0+1 CS systems, in the same class with the coupling between the electromagnetic field and a…
Linearization of homogeneous polynomials of degree n and k variables leads to generalized Clifford algebras. Multicomplex numbers are then introduced in analogy to complex numbers with respect to usual Clifford algebra. In turn multicomplex…
A fundamental problem in formulating higher Chern-Simons theories is the construction of a consistent higher gauge theory that circumvents the fake-flatness constraint. Here, we propose a solution to this problem using adjusted higher…
This text collects useful results concerning the quasi-Hopf algebra $\D $. We give a review of issues related to its use in conformal theories and physical mathematics. Existence of such algebras based on 3-cocycles with values in $ {R} /…
We provide a detailed analysis of the classical and quantized theory of a multiplet of inhomogeneous Klein-Gordon fields, which couple to the spacetime metric and also to an external source term; thus the solutions form an affine space.…
The conventional Rosenfeld-Bergmann-Dirac constrained Hamiltonian algorithm applied to Einstein-Yang-Mills theory is shown to be equivalent to a local gauge theoretic extension of Cartan's invariant integral approach to classical mechanics.…
