In this talk, we discuss several topics related to the Abelian-projected SU(3)-QCD. First of them is the Aharonov-Bohm effect emerging during the extension of this theory by the introduction of the $\Theta$-term. Another topic is devoted to…
We study the Galilean symmetry in a nonrelativistic model, recently advanced by Bak, Jackiw and Pi, involving the coupling of a nonabelian Chern-Simons term with matter fields. The validity of the Galilean algebra on the constraint surface…
We consider an elliptic system arising from a supersymmetric gauge field theory. In this paper, we complete to classify all possible solutions according to their asymptotic behavior under a weak coupling effect. Interestingly, it turns out…
We consider the problem of defining the field strength of abelian potentials when the spacetime is a Poisson manifold, within the groupoidal approach. The natural definition in terms of gauge invariant momenta is proved to be equivalent to…
The Chern-Simons approach has been widely used to explain fractional quantum Hall states in the framework of trial wave functions. In the present paper, we generalise the concept of Chern-Simons transformations to systems with any number of…
The goal of these notes is to show that the classification problem of algebraically unbiased system of projectors has an interpretation in symplectic geometry. This leads us to a description of the moduli space of algebraically unbiased…
We construct and study an N=3 supersymmetric Chern-Simons Higgs theory. This theory is the maximally supersymmetric one containing the self-dual models with a single gauge field and no gravity.
We reconsider the Abelian pure Chern-Simons theory in three dimensions by using our improved Batalin-Fradkin-Tyutin Hamiltonian formalism. As a result, we show several novel features, including the connection of the Dirac brackets. In…
In this work we present an alternative method to construct diverse non-relativistic Chern-Simons supergravity theories in three spacetime dimensions. To this end, we apply the Lie algebra expansion method based on semigroups to a…
In this article we investigate an interpolating gauge fixing procedure in $(4l+3)$-dimensional abelian Chern-Simons theory. We show that this interpolating gauge is related to the covariant gauge in a constant anisotropic metric. We compute…
We consider 5 dimensional gauge theories where the 5th direction is compactified on an interval. The Chern-Simons (CS) terms (favored by naive dimensional analysis) are discussed. A simple scenario with an extra U(1)_X gauge field that…
We study Chern-Simons theory on 3-manifolds $M$ that are circle-bundles over 2-dimensional surfaces $\Sigma$ and show that the method of Abelianisation, previously employed for trivial bundles $\Sigma \times S^1$, can be adapted to this…
Three dimensional bosonization is a conjectured duality between non-supersymmetric Chern-Simons theories coupled to matter fields in the fundamental representation of the gauge group. There is a well-established supersymmetric version of…
In the worldline approach to non-Abelian field theory the colour degrees of freedom of the coupling to the gauge potential can be incorporated using worldline "colour" fields. The colour fields generate Wilson loop interactions whilst…
We propose a symmetry law for a doublet of different form fields, which resembles gauge transformations for matter fields. This may be done for general Lie groups, resulting in an extension of Lie algebras and group manifolds. It is also…
This paper develops a framework for the Hamiltonian quantization of complex Chern-Simons theory with gauge group $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ at an even level $k\in\mathbb{Z}_+$. Our approach follows the procedure of combinatorial…
We extend the N=4 superconformal Chern-Simons theories of Gaiotto and Witten to those with additional twisted hyper-multiplets. The new theories are generically linear quiver gauge theories with the two types of hyper-multiplets alternating…

We study the effect of a Chern-Simons (CS) term in the phase structure of two different Abelian gauge theories. For the compact Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory, we obtain that for values $g=n/2\pi$ of the CS coupling with $n=\pm 1,\pm 2$, the…
Chern-Simons theory coupled to complex scalars is quantized on the light- front in the local light-cone gauge by constructing the self-consistent hamiltonian theory. It is shown that no inconsistency arises on using two local gauge-fixing…
