We study three-dimensional Chern-Simons theory with complex gauge group SL(2,C), which has many interesting connections with three-dimensional quantum gravity and geometry of hyperbolic 3-manifolds. We show that, in the presence of a single…
For analytic nonlinear systems of ordinary differential equations, under some non-degeneracy and integrability conditions we prove that the formal exponential series solutions (trans-series) at an irregular singularity of rank one are Borel…
Inspired by the two-parameter Macdonald-Cherednik deformation of the formulae for non simply laced simple Lie algebras, we propose a two-fold refinement of the partition function of the corresponding Chern-Simons theory on $S^3$. It is…
Resurgent-transseries solutions to Painleve equations may be recursively constructed out of these nonlinear differential-equations -- but require Stokes data to be globally defined over the complex plane. Stokes data explicitly construct…
In this thesis Chern-Simons theories based on Lie algebras with invariant metric are constructed. It is discussed how contractions lead systematically to (higher spin) kinematical algebras of, e.g., Poincar\'e, Galilei and Carroll type and…
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…
This work is a step towards a non-perturbative continuum definition of quantum field theory (QFT), beginning with asymptotically free two dimensional non-linear sigma-models, using recent ideas from mathematics and QFT. The ideas from…
We define a sequence of invariants $\mathcal{Z}_{N}^{\psi}$ of tangles with flat $\mathfrak{sl}_{2}$ connections (i.e. hyperbolic structures) on their complements. These can be interpreted as a geometric twist of the Kashaev invariant or as…
Chern-Weil theory provides for each invariant polynomial on a Lie algebra g a map from g-connections to differential cocycles whose volume holonomy is the corresponding Chern-Simons theory action functional. Kotov and Strobl have observed…
We compute an upper bound on the circuit complexity of quantum states in $3d$ Chern-Simons theory corresponding to certain classes of knots. Specifically, we deal with states in the torus Hilbert space of Chern-Simons that are the knot…
We discuss the resummation of the strong coupling asymptotic expansion of the dressing phase of the ${\rm AdS}_5\times {\rm S}^5$ superstring. The dressing phase proposed by Beisert, Eden and Staudacher can be recovered from a modified…
We formulate large $N$ duality of $\mathrm{U}(N)$ refined Chern-Simons theory with a torus knot/link in $S^3$. By studying refined BPS states in M-theory, we provide the explicit form of low-energy effective actions of Type IIA string…
We construct the $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric extensions of different models containing a Chern-Simons term and study their BPS structure. We find that the coupling of the Chern-Simons term to the general gauged nonlinear $\sigma$-model…
We prove that the formal $\hbar$-power series solution of the deformed Painlev\'{e} I equation is resurgent, which means it is generically Borel summable and its Borel transform admits endless analytic continuation. In particular, we find…
We consider the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants or Chern-Simons partition function at or around roots of unity $q=e^{2\pi i \frac{1}{K}}$ with rational level $K=\frac{r}{s}$ where $r$ and $s$ are coprime integers. From the exact…
Chern-Simons gauge theory for compact semisimple groups is analyzed from a perturbation theory point of view. The general form of the perturbative series expansion of a Wilson line is presented in terms of the Casimir operators of the gauge…
We study the entanglement for a state on linked torus boundaries in $3d$ Chern-Simons theory with a generic gauge group and present the asymptotic bounds of R\'enyi entropy at two different limits: (i) large Chern-Simons coupling $k$, and…
To each second-order ordinary differential equation $\sigma $ on a smooth manifold $M$ a $G$-structure $P^\sigma $ on $J^1(\mathbb{R},M)$ is associated and the Chern connection $\nabla ^\sigma $ attached to $\sigma $ is proved to be…
The general method of reduction in the number of coupling parameters is applied in a Chern-Simons-matter model with several independent couplings. We claim that considering the asymptotic region, and expressing all dimensionless coupling…
We analyze an elliptic equation arising in the study of the gauged O(3) sigma model with the Chern-Simons term. In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of solutions and apply it to prove the uniqueness of stable solutions. However,…
