This paper investigates the holographic realization of anyons in \(SU(N)_k\) Chern-Simons theory within the AdS/CFT framework. The study extends traditional models, such as \(SU(2)\), to higher-rank groups like \(SU(3)\) and \(SU(4)\),…

We evaluate to one loop the functional integral that computes the partition functions of Chern-Simons theories based on compact groups, using the background field method and a covariant gauge fixing. We compare our computation with the…

In the late 1980s Witten used the Chern-Simons form of a connection to construct new invariants of 3-manifolds and knots, recovering in particular the Jones invariants. Since then the associated topological quantum field theory (TQFT) has…

It is shown that Connes' character formula for unbounded, theta-summable Fredholm modules represents the abstract Chern-character in K-homology. As an application, the character of a particular Fredholm module over the reduced group…

In the AdS/CFT correspondence the boundary Ward identities are encoded in the bulk constraints. We study the three-dimensional version of this result using the Chern-Simons formulation of gravity. Due the metric boundary conditions the…

We develop a framework to compute characteristic classes and their forms in the computer algebra system SageMath using symbolic calculus. In order to do this, we make use of the Chern-Weil approach in which characteristic classes of vector…

It is known that a large class of characters of 2d conformal field theories (CFTs) can be written in the form of a Nahm sum. In \cite{Zagier:2007knq}, D. Zagier identified a list of Nahm sum expressions that are modular functions under a…

We revisit the derivation of the orbital magnetization formula for periodic crystals in current density functional theory (CDFT)[1]. Our new derivation computes the linear response of the energy density to a periodic magnetic field in the…

The purpose of this paper is to begin an exploration of connections between the Baum-Connes conjecture in operator $\K$-theory and the geometric representation theory of reductive Lie groups. Our initial goal is very modest, and we shall…
