We study field theories defined in regions of the spatial non-commutative (NC) plane with a boundary present delimiting them, concentrating in particular on the U(1) NC Chern-Simons theory on the upper half plane. We find that classical…
The possibility of testing spatial noncommutativity in the case of both position-position and momentum-momentum noncommuting via a Chern-Simons' process is explored. A Chern-Simons process can be realized by an interaction of a charged…
In this work I consider extensions of Chern-Simons gravities and supergravities associated to the use of Transgression forms as actions, instead of Chern-Simons forms. It is noted that Transgression Forms yields a essencially unique…
A Chern--Simons system in $2+1$ dimensions invariant under local Lorentz rotations, $SU(2)$ gauge transformations, and local $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetry transformations is proposed. The field content is that of $(2+1)$-gravity plus an…
In this article we consider $SU(2)$ Chern-Simons/Higgs theory coupled to gravity in three-dimensions. It is shown that for a cylindrically symmetric vortex both the Einstein equations and the field equations can be reduced to a set of…
We describe mirror symmetry in N=2 superconformal field theories in terms of a dynamical topology changing process of the principal fiber bundle associated with a topological membrane. We show that the topological symmetries of Calabi-Yau…
We study the Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory systematically in an effort to generalize the Coleman-Hill result to the non-Abelian case. We show that, while the Chern-Simons coefficient is in general gauge dependent in a non-Abelian theory,…
This is intended as a broad introduction to Chern-Simons gravity and supergravity. The motivation for these theories lies in the desire to have a gauge invariant system --with a fiber bundle formulation-- in more than three dimensions,…
Noncommutative three-dimensional gravity can be described in terms of a noncommutative Chern-Simons theory. We extend this structure and also propose an action for gravitational fields on an even dimensional noncommutative space. The action…
New developments on the symmetries of non-relativistic field theoretical models on the non commutative plane are reviewed. It is shown in particular that Galilean invariance strongly restricts the admissible interactions. Moreover, if a…
Chern-Simons couplings between Yang-Mills gauge fields and an abelian 2-form are derived by means of cohomological arguments.
We address the problem of coupling non-Hermitian systems, treated as fundamental rather than effective theories, to the electromagnetic field. In such theories the observables are not the $\bs{x}$ and $\bs{p}$ appearing in the Hamiltonian,…
A simplified model for a planet's atmosphere as an open two-dimensional Chern-Simons system is presented. The dynamical variables describe an ideal gas by its velocity, mass density, temperature and pressure. Radiation exchange, diffusion…
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…
Gauge theories compose a large class of interacting conformal field theories in 3d, among which an outstanding category is critical Chern-Simons-matter theories. In this paper, we focus on one of the simplest instances: one complex critical…
We use recent progress on Chern-Simons gauge theory in three dimensions [18] to give explicit, closed form formulas for the star product on some functions on the affine space ${\mathcal A}(\Sigma)$ of (smooth) connections on the trivialized…
Consistent interactions between Yang-Mills gauge fields and an abelian 2-form are investigated by using a Hamiltonian cohomological procedure. It is shown that the deformation of the BRST charge and the BRST-invariant Hamiltonian of the…
Starting from a $D=3$, $N=4$ supersymmetric theory for matter fields, a twist with a Grassmann parity change is defined which maps the theory into a gauge fixed, abelian $BF$ theory on curved 3-manifolds. After adding surface terms to this…
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 investigate BPS soliton solutions of U(N) Chern-Simons gauge theory coupled to a scalar field in noncommutative plane. With a scalar field in the fundamental representation, we show that the BPS equation becomes that of abelian…
