We use differential cohomology to systematically construct a large class of topological actions in physics, including Chern-Simons terms, Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten terms, and theta terms (continuous or discrete). We introduce a notion of…
We consider a two-component quantum Hall system within a Landau-Ginzburg theory with two Chern-Simons gauge fields. From this theory we derive a sigma model covariantly coupled to one Chern-Simons field and find mean field solutions that…
In 2+1-dimensions (2+1D), a gapped quantum phase with no symmetry (i.e. a topological order) can have a thermal Hall conductance $\kappa_{xy}=c \frac{\pi^2 k_B^2}{3h}T$, where the dimensionless $c$ is called chiral central charge. If there…
We prove that the quantum cohomology ring of any minuscule or cominuscule homogeneous space, once localized at the quantum parameter, has a non trivial involution mapping Schubert classes to multiples of Schubert classes. This can be stated…
In both mathematics and physics, topological field theories and holomorphic field theories appear naturally, but there are interesting theories that are hybrids -- looking topological in some directions and holomorphic in others -- such as…
We extend finite dimensional Chern-Simons theory to certain infinite dimensional principal bundles with connections, in particular to the frame bundle $FLM\to LM$ over the loop space of a Riemannian manifold $M$. Chern-Simons forms are…
We identify some hidden symmetries of Chern-Simons theories, such as appear in the effective theory for quantized Hall states. This allows us to determine which filling fractions admit spin-singlet quantum Hall states. Our results shed some…
To understand what does Chern-Simons with compact Lie group(does not like Dijkgraaf-Witten model with finite group in 3d) attach to a point, we first give a construction of Topological Quantum Field Theory(TQFT) via Chern-Simons theory in…
We propose a unitary matrix Chern-Simons model representing fractional quantum Hall fluids of finite extent on the cylinder. A mapping between the states of the two systems is established. Standard properties of Laughlin theory, such as the…
Drawing on the connection with superconductivity, we give a simple AdS realization of the quantum Hall effect. The theory includes a statistical gauge field with a Chern-Simons term, in analogy with effective field theory models of the QHE.
We discuss a nexus among quantum topology, quantum physics and quantum computing.
We discuss a model for the integer quantum Hall effect which is based on a Schroedinger-Chern-Simons-action functional for a non-interacting system of electrons in an electromagnetic field on a mutiply connected manifold. In this model the…
We calculate a topological invariant, whose value would coincide with the Chern number in case of integer quantum Hall effect, for fractional quantum Hall states. In case of Abelian fractional quantum Hall states, this invariant is shown to…
We give the general solution of the Ward identity for the linear vector supersymmetry which characterizes all topological models. Such solution, whose expression is quite compact and simple, greatly simplifies the study of theories…
We propose a unifying theory for both the integral and fractional quantum Hall regimes. This theory reconciles the Finkelstein approach to localization and interaction effects with the topological issues of an instanton vacuum and…
We relate the collective dynamic internal geometric degrees of freedom to the gauge fluctuations in $\nu=1/m$(m odd) fractional quantum Hall effects. In this way, in the lowest Landau level, a highly nontrivial quantum geometry in…
We propose a model of quantum gravity in arbitrary dimensions defined in terms of the BV quantization of a supersymmetric, infinite dimensional matrix model. This gives an (AKSZ-type) Chern-Simons theory with gauge algebra the space of…
We show a quantum version of Chern character homomorphism from the small quantum K-theory to the small quantum cohomology in the cases of projective spaces and incidence varieties, whose classical limit gives the classical Chern character…
Topology change in quantum gravity is considered. An exact wave function of the Universe is calculated for topological Chern-Simons 2+1 dimensional gravity. This wave function occurs as the effect of a quantum anomaly which leads to the…
The integral and fractional quantum Hall effects are among the most important discoveries in condensed matter physics in 1980s. The main results can be summarized in the conductance matrix. When the filling factor is an integer or some…
