We discuss the canonical quantization of $U(1)_k$ Chern-Simons theory on a spatial lattice. In addition to the usual local Gauss law constraints, the physical Hilbert space is defined by 1-form gauge constraints implementing the compactness…

The model with the fermions coupled in the non - minimal way to the gauge theory of Lorentz group is considered. The lattice regularization is suggested. It is argued that this model may exist in the phase with broken chiral symmetry and…
Unlike an earlier theory, by avoiding both the electromagnetic gauge field shift and the assumption of the zero average of electromagnetic field fluctuation the fermion Chern-Simons gauge theory is reformulated to obtain mean field…

We write the most general parity-even re-normalizable Chern-Simons term for massive axial-vector propagating torsion fields. After obtaining the most comprehensive action, we perform the causal structure analysis to see what…
In this work a lattice formulation of a supersymmetric theory is proposed and tested that preserves the complete supersymmetry on the lattice. The results of a one-dimensional nonperturbative simulation show the realization of the full…
We propose a nonperturbative formulation of chiral gauge theories. The method involves a `pre-regulation' of the gauge fields, which may be implemented on a lattice, followed by a computation of the chiral fermion determinant in the form of…

Non-abelian Chern-Simons theories coupled to fermions are known to provide an interesting class of non-supersymmetric conformal fixed points \cite{Giombi:2011kc}. These theories, particularly those based on bifundamental matter, are…
We investigate the sign problem of the fermion determinant at finite baryon density in (1+1) dimensions, in which the ground state in the chiral limit should be free from the sign problem by forming a chiral spiral. To confirm it, we…
We show that the classical non-abelian pure Chern-Simons action is related in a natural way to completely integrable systems of the Davey-Stewartson hyerarchy, via reductions of the gauge connection in Hermitian spaces and by performing…
We investigate the effects of (Curvature)$^{2}$- and (Torsion)$^{2}$- terms in the Einstein-Hilbert-Chern-Simons Lagrangian. The purposes are two-fold: (i) to show the efficacy of an orthogonal basis of degree-of-freedom projection…
We discuss the quantum computation of dynamical chirality production in lattice gauge theory. Although the chirality of a lattice fermion is complicated in general dimensions, it can be simply formulated on a one-dimensional lattice. The…
We conjecture a new sequence of dualities between Chern-Simons gauge theories simultaneously coupled to fundamental bosons and fermions. These dualities reduce to those proposed by Aharony when the number of bosons or fermions is zero. Our…
For $n \geq 2$, consider $\mathbb{Z}^n$ as a lattice graph. We explore a generalized Chern-Simons equation on $\mathbb{Z}^n$. Employing the method of exhaustion, we prove that there exists a global solution that also qualifies as a…

Comparing recent lattice results on chiral fermions and old continuum results for the index puzzling questions arise. To clarify this issue we start with a critical reconsideration of the results on finite lattices. We then work out various…
