In this paper, we systematically study a class of essentially normal operators by using the geometry method from the Cowen-Douglas theory and prove a Brown-Douglas-Fillmore theorem in the Cowen-Douglas theory. More precisely, the Chern…

We comment on the regularization of the expectation values of Wilson surfaces for the bosonic string in the (3+1) dimensions. We analyze the singular behaviors of propagator for the Chern-Simons action with the additional higher order…

In three dimensional ${\cal N}=4$ Chern-Simons-matter theories two independent fermionic Wilson loop operators can be defined, which preserve half of the supersymmetry charges and are cohomologically equivalent at classical level. We…

In the present paper we review the main results of a series of recent papers on the non-Abelian Chern-Simons path integral on $M=\Sigma \times S^1$ in the so-called "torus gauge". More precisely, we study the torus gauge fixed version of…

We present the partition function of Chern-Simons theory with the exceptional gauge group on three-sphere in the form of a partition function of the refined closed topological string with relation $2\tau=g_s(1-b) $ between single K\"ahler…

We study U(1) gauge theory on a 4d non-commutative torus, where two directions are non-commutative. Monte Carlo simulations are performed after mapping the regularized theory onto a U(N) lattice gauge theory in d=2. At intermediate coupling…

The main purpose of this paper is to show the existence of action-angle variables for integrable Hamiltonian systems on Dirac manifolds under some natural regularity and compactness conditions, using the torus action approach. We show that…

We use twist deformation techniques to analyse the behaviour under area-preserving diffeomorphisms of quantum averages of Wilson loops in Yang-Mills theory on the noncommutative plane. We find that while the classical gauge theory is…

We generalize the modern theory of electric polarization to the case of one-dimensional non-Hermitian systems with line-gapped spectrum. In these systems, the electronic position operator is non-Hermitian even when projected into the…

Using product integrals we review the unambiguous mathematical representation of Wilson line and Wilson loop operators, including their behavior under gauge transformations and the non-abelian Stokes theorem. Interesting consistency…

We explicitly show that the Landau gauge supersymmetry of Chern-Simons theory does not have any physical significance. In fact, the difference between an effective action both BRS invariant and Landau supersymmetric and an effective action…

We present a comparative study of the dynamical behaviour of topological systems of recent interest, namely the non-Abelian Chern-Simons Higgs system and the Yang-Mills Chern-Simons Higgs system. By reducing the full field theories to…

The Chern-Simons (CS) theory in three dimensions with a compact gauge group G is studied. Starting from the BRST quantization of the theory defined in R^3, the values of gauge invariants observables are computed in any closed and orientable…

We make use of the properties of product integrals to obtain a surface product integral representation for the Wilson loop operator. The result can be interpreted as the non-abelian version of Stokes' theorem.

We propose a (4+1) dimensional Chern-Simons field theoretical description of the fractional quantum Hall effect. It suggests that composite fermions reside on a momentum manifold with a nonzero Chern number. Based on derivations from…

This is the second of a series of papers in which we introduce and study a rigorous "simplicial" realization of the non-Abelian Chern-Simons path integral for manifolds M of the form M = Sigma x S1 and arbitrary simply-connected compact…

We give an elementary proof that Abelian Chern-Simons theory, described as a functor from oriented surfaces to C*-algebras, does not admit a natural state. Non-existence of natural states is thus not only a phenomenon of quantum field…

We construct the local Hamiltonian description of the Chern-Simons theory with discrete non-Abelian gauge group on a lattice. We show that the theory is fully determined by the phase factors associated with gauge transformations and…

We consider a gauge theory of vector fields in $3d$ Minkowski space. At the free level, the dynamical variables are subjected to the extended Chern-Simons (ECS) equations with higher derivatives. If the color index takes $n$ values, the…

A novel approach to the analysis of a noncommutative Chern--Simons gauge theory with matter coupled in the adjoint representation has been discussed. The analysis is based on a recently proposed closed form Seiberg--Witten map which is…
