Two super-analogs of the Schur-Weyl duality are considered: the duality of actions in $(\mathbb{C}^{m|n})^{\otimes N}$ of the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{gl}(m,n)$ and the symmetric group $S_N$, and the duality of actions of the Lie…
The universality of radiative corrections to the gauge coupling constant $k$ of Chern-Simons theory is studied in a very general regularization scheme. We show that the effective coupling constant $k$ induced by radiative corrections…
The three dimensional Chern-Simons theory on $\rr^2_{\theta}\times \rr$ is studied. Considering the gauge transformations under the group elements which are going to one at infinity, we show that under arbitrary (finite) gauge…
We study a class of generalized Abelian gauge field theories where CPT symmetry is violated by a Chern-Simons-like term which selects a preferred direction in spacetime. Such Chern-Simons-like terms may either emerge as part of the…
We investigate duality properties of N-form fields, provide a symmetric way of coupling them to electric/magnetic sources, and check that these charges obey the appropriate quantization requirements. First, we contrast the D=4k case, in…
Non-relativistic ABJM theory is defined by Galilean limit of mass-deformed N=6 Chern-Simons theory. Holographic string theory dual to the theory is not known yet. To understand features candidate gravity dual might exhibit, we examine local…
We propose a new "Hamiltonian inspired" covariant formula to define (without harmful ambiguities) the superpotential and the physical charges associated to a gauge symmetry. The criterion requires the variation of the Noether current not to…
In this work, we undertake a perturbative analysis of the topological non-Abelian Chern-Simons-Wong model with the aim to explicitly construct the second-order on-shell action. The resulting action is a topological quantity depending solely…
A dynamical non-abelian two-form potential gives masses to vector bosons via a topological coupling. Unlike in the abelian case, the two-form cannot be dualized to Goldstone bosons. Duality is restored by coupling a flat connection to the…
The double copy relates scattering amplitudes and classical solutions in non-abelian gauge theories and gravity. As such, it is usually expressed in the conventional second-order formalisms in both theories corresponding to standard…
We study the effect of a Chern-Simons term in a theory with discrete gauge group H, which in (2+1)-dimensional space time describes (non-abelian) anyons. As in a previous paper, we emphasize the underlying algebraic structure, namely the…
For the abelian self-dual Chern-Simons-Higgs model we address existence issues of periodic vortex configurations -- the so-called condensates-- of non-topological type as $k \to 0$, where $k>0$ is the Chern-Simons parameter. We provide a…
In this paper, we consider the self-dual equation arising from Abelian Chern-Simons-Higgs theory coupled to the Einstein equations over the plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ and a compact surface $S$. We prove the existence of symmetric topological…
A gauged Dirac-Weyl equation in (2+1)-dimension is considered. This equation has the particularity to describe the states of a graphene Dirac matter. In particular we are interested in matter interacting with a Chern-Simons gauge fields. We…
We propose candidate gravity duals for a class of non-Abelian z=2 Lifshitz Chern-Simons (LCS) gauge theories studied by Mulligan, Kachru and Nayak. These are nonrelativistic gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions in which parity and time-reversal…
We reformulate the Born-Infeld action, coupled to an axion and a dilaton in a duality manifest way. This action is the generalization of the Schwarz-Sen action for non-linear electrodynamics. We show that this action may be obtained by…
We study the theory of non-relativistic matter with non-Abelian $U(2)$ Chern-Simons gauge interaction in $(2+1)$ dimensions. We adopt the mean field approximation in the current-algebra formulation already applied to the Abelian anyons. We…
In perturbative SU(N) Chern-Simons gauge theory, it is shown that the Schwinger-Dyson equations assume a quite simplified form. The generating functional of the correlation functions of the curvature is considered; it is demonstrated that…
We present a Lorentzian version of three-dimensional noncommutative Einstein-AdS gravity by making use of the Chern-Simons formulation of pure gravity in 2+1 dimensions. The deformed action contains a real, symmetric metric and a real,…
Upon examining the effective action of the heterotic string theory at order $\alpha'^2$, an inconsistency between the Chern-Simons coupling $\Omega^2$ and T-duality has been discovered. To address this issue, we introduce 60 parity-even…
