We show that the exact solution of the two_superbody problem in N=2 Chern Simons Supergravity in 2+1 dimensions leads to a supermultiplet of space-times. This supersymmetric space-time is characterized by the two gauge invariant observables…

Recently 2+1 dimensional gravity theory, especially ${\rm AdS_3}$ has been studied extensively. It was shown to be equivalent to the 2+1 Chern-Simon theory and has been investigated to understand the black hole thermodynamics, i.e. Hawking…

Beginning with the principle that a closed mechanical composite system is timeless, time can be defined by the regular changes in a suitable position coordinate (clock) in the observing part, when one part of the closed composite observes…

In the previous paper arXiv:1711.07122, we show that a holomorphic zero-mode wave function in abelian Chern-Simons theory on the torus can be considered as a quantum version of a modular form of weight 2. Motivated by this result, in this…

Any two infinite-dimensional (separable) Hilbert spaces are unitarily isomorphic. The sets of all their self-adjoint operators are also therefore unitarily equivalent. Thus if all self-adjoint operators can be observed, and if there is no…

We consider Chern-Simons gauge theory on a torus with both nonrelativistic and relativistic matter. It is shown that the Hamiltonian and two total momenta commute among themselves only in the physical Hilbert space. We also discuss…

We study the phase space structure and the quantization of a pointlike particle in 2+1 dimensional gravity. By adding boundary terms to the first order Einstein Hilbert action, and removing all redundant gauge degrees of freedom, we arrive…

We study dipole Chern-Simons theory with and without a cosmological constant in $2+1$ dimensions. We write the theory in a second order formulation and show that this leads to a fracton gauge theory coupled to Aristotelian geometry which…
