This text offers reminiscences of my personal interactions with Roman Jackiw as a way of looking back at the very fertile period in theoretical physics in the last quarter of the 20th century.

To celebrate Roman Jackiw's 80th birthday, herewith some comments on gravity and gauge theory models in D=3, the chief focus of many of our joint efforts.

This essay is a tribute to Professor Roman Jackiw on the occasion of his eightieth year. It discusses some ideas about Fermion zero modes and fractional charges and quantum entanglement.

This thesis explores the correspondence between Chern-Simons theory and integrable field theories across different dimensions. It brings together all of my work in this area, including several distinct realizations of this correspondence.…

The essential role played by Chern--Simons terms in a variety of physical models provides yet another illustration of the unexpected but profound interactions between the two disciplines.

Roman Jackiw has made highly original and influential contributions to several areas of physics that have grown and blossomed, notably including the quantum physics of domain walls, magnetic monopoles, and fractional quantum numbers. Here I…

The use of the physical variables in the fashion of Dirac in the three-dimensional Chern-Simons theories is presented. Our previous results are reinterpreted in a new aspect.

We study contact terms of conserved currents and the energy-momentum tensor in three-dimensional quantum field theory. They are associated with Chern-Simons terms for background fields. While the integer parts of these contact terms are…

The inevitability of Chern--Simons terms in constructing a variety of physical models, and the mathematical advances they in turn generate, illustrates the unexpected but profound interactions between the two disciplines.

I begin with an anecdote, and then discuss my recent work on anomalies in spin-$\frac{3}{2}$ theories.

The self-dual systems are constrained and so are simpler to understand. In recent years there have been several studies on the self-dual Chern-Simons systems. Here I present a brief survey of works done by my collaborators and myself. I…

This is the 10th article in the collection of reviews "Exact results on N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories", ed. J.Teschner. It reviews correspondences between three-dimensional gauge theories and complex Chern-Simons theory on suitable…

We introduce Chern-Simons interaction into the three dimensional four-fermi theory, ad suggest a possible line of non-Gaussian infrared stable fixed points of the four-fermi operator, this line is characterized by the Chern-Simons coupling.

We present an elementary review of some aspects of Chern-Simons theory with complex gauge group SL(N,C). We discuss some of the challenges in defining the theory as a full-fledged TQFT, as well as some successes inspired by the 3d-3d…

We quantize the (2+1)-dimensional self-dual and Maxwell-Chern-Simons theories by using the Faddeev-Jackiw formulation and compare the results with those of the Dirac formalism.

I present some reminiscences, both personal and scientific, over a lifetime of admiration of, and friendship with, one of the Grandmasters of our subject.

In this work we apply different duality techniques, both the dual projection, based on the soldering formalism and the master action, in order to obtain and study the dual description of the Carroll-Field-Jackiw model \cite{cfj}, a theory…

We explore the possibilities for constructing Lagrangian descriptions of three-dimensional superconformal classical gauge theories that contain a Chern-Simons term, but no kinetic term, for the gauge fields. Classes of such theories with N…

In honour of Mario Greco I present my recollections on the QCD studies in Rome in the '70's and early 80's and on our very friendly group of people involved.

The relation between open topological strings and Chern-Simons theory was discovered by E. Witten. He proved that A-model on T*M where M is a three-dimensional manifold is equivalent to Chern-Simons theory on M and that A-model on arbitrary…
