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…
A new approach to the quantization of Chern-Simons theory has been developed in recent papers of the author. It uses a "simulation" of the moduli space of flat connections modulo the gauge group which reveals to be related to a lattice…
In this paper, we show how to discretize the abelian Chern-Simons gauge theory on generic planar lattices/graphs (with or without translational symmetries) embedded in arbitrary 2D closed orientable manifolds. We find that, as long as a…
Let $(V,E)$ be a finite connected graph. We are concerned about the Chern-Simons Higgs model $$\Delta u=\lambda e^u(e^u-1)+f, \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad{(0.1)}$$ where $\Delta$ is the graph Laplacian, $\lambda$ is a real number and $f$…
For any rank 2 of simple Lie algebra, the relativistic Chern-Simons system has the following form: \begin{equation}\label{e001} \left\{\begin{array}{c} \Delta u_1+(\sum_{i=1}^2K_{1i}e^{u_i}…
We propose an exactly solvable Grassmannian sigma-model coupled to the Chern-Simons theory. In the presence of a novel topological term our model admits exact self-dual vortex solutions which are identical to those of pure Grassmannian…
We relate the existence of Noether global conserved currents associated with locally variational field equations to existence of global solutions for a local variational problem generating global equations. Both can be characterized as the…
We study the mixed topological / holomorphic Chern-Simons theory of Costello, Witten and Yamazaki on an orbifold $(\Sigma\times{\mathbb C})/{\mathbb Z}_2$, obtaining a description of lattice integrable systems in the presence of a boundary.…
We present new proposals for the representation of a Chern-Simons term on the lattice. In the first part, such a term is constructed from the fermion determinant, and in the second part directly from the Abelian gauge term. In both cases,…
We search for vortices in a generalized Abelian Chern-Simons model with a nonstandard kinetic term. We illustrate our results, plotting and comparing several features of the vortex solution of the generalized model with those of the vortex…
We consider the Chern-Simons gauge theory of rank $2$ such as $SU(3)$, $SO(5)$, and $G_2$ Chern-Simons model in $\mathbb{R}^2$. There may exist three types of solutions in these theories, that is, topological, nontopological, and mixed type…
We give the general solution of the Ward identity for the linear vector supersymmetry which characterizes all topological models. Such solution, whose expression is quite compact and simple, greatly simplifies the study of theories…
In a somewhat overlooked work by Seiberg, a definition of the topological charge for SU(N) lattice fields was given. Here, it is shown that Seibergs and L\"{u}schers charge definition are related up to the section of the bundle. With the…
In this paper, a Hamiltonian lattice formulation for 2+1D compact Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory is derived. We analytically solve this theory and demonstrate that the mass gap in the continuum limit matches the well-known continuum formula.…
In this paper, we generalize the arithmetic Chern-Simons theory to regular flat separated schemes of finite type over rings of integers of number fields by applying the duality theorems for arithmetic schemes.
We discuss the topological and global gauge properties of the formula for a black hole entropy due to a purely gravitational Chern-Simons term. We study under what topological and geometrical conditions this formula is well-defined. To this…

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…
Topology and generalized symmetries in the $SU(N)/\mathbb{Z}_N$ gauge theory are considered in the continuum and the lattice. Starting from the $SU(N)$ gauge theory with the 't~Hooft twisted boundary condition, we give a simpler explanation…
We construct invertible field theories generalizing abelian prequantum spin Chern-Simons theory to manifolds of dimension 4k+3 endowed with a Wu structure of degree 2k+2. After analysing the anomalies of a certain discrete symmetry, we…
