We study a three-dimensional symmetric Chern-Simons field theory with a general covariance and it turns out that the original Chern-Simons theory is just a gauge fixed action of the symmetric Chern-Simons theory whose constraint algebra…
The 3d $A$-model is a two-dimensional approach to the computation of supersymmetric observables of three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories. In principle, it allows us to compute half-BPS partition functions on any…
We study the $\lambda$--deformation of symmetric coset models from the viewpoint of a four dimensional Chern-Simons theory \cite{CY3}. In addition, by applying the "dual" boundary conditions of the ones used in the construction…
In this paper, we generalize the arithmetic Chern-Simons theory to regular flat separated schemes of finite type over rings of integers of number fields by applying the duality theorems for arithmetic schemes.
The use of the physical variables in the fashion of Dirac in the three-dimensional Chern-Simons theories is presented. Our previous results are reinterpreted in a new aspect.
We generalize the free Fermi-gas formulation of certain 3d ${\cal N}=3$ supersymmetric Chern-Simons-matter theories by allowing Fayet-Iliopoulos couplings as well as mass terms for bifundamental matter fields. The resulting partition…
We show that CP-violation can lead to an asymmetric diffusion of the Chern-Simons number in thermal equilibrium. This asymmetry leads to a linearly growing expectation value of the third power of the Chern-Simons number. In the long-time…
A supersymmetric formulation of a three-dimensional SYM-Chern-Simons theory using light-cone quantization is presented, and the supercharges are calculated in light-cone gauge. The theory is dimensionally reduced by requiring all fields to…
In five spacetime dimensions, instantons are finite energy, solitonic particles. We describe the dynamics of these objects in the presence of a Chern-Simons interaction. For U(N) instantons, we show that the 5d Chern-Simons term induces a…
The reduced density matrices (RDMs) are calculated in the thermodynamic limit for the Chern-Simons non-relativistic particle system and Maxwell-Boltzmann (MB) statistics. It is established that they are zero outside of a diagonal and…

By taking into account the effect of the would be Chern-Simons term, we calculate the quantum correction to the Chern-Simons coefficient in supersymmetric Chern-Simons Higgs theories with matter fields in the fundamental representation of…
We study complex Chern-Simons theory on a Seifert manifold $M_3$ by embedding it into string theory. We show that complex Chern-Simons theory on $M_3$ is equivalent to a topologically twisted supersymmetric theory and its partition function…
We present cosmological solutions from the dimensionally reduced Chern-Simons term and obtain the smooth transition solution from the decelerated phase (AdS) to the accelerated phase (dS).
The Chern-Simons theory defined on a 3-dimensional manifold with boundary is written as a two-dimensional field theory defined only on the boundary of the three-manifold. The resulting theory is, essentially, the pullback to the boundary of…
This paper expounds the modern theory of symplectic reduction in finite-dimensional Hamiltonian mechanics. This theory generalizes the well-known connection between continuous symmetries and conserved quantities, i.e. Noether's theorem. It…
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…
We renormalize the Chern-Simons invariant for convex-cocompact hyperbolic 3-manifolds by finding the asymptotics along an equidistance foliation. We prove that the metric Chern-Simons invariant has an exponentially divergent term given by…
There are two natural Chern-Simons theories associated with the embedding of a three-dimensional surface in Euclidean space; one is constructed using the induced metric connection -- it involves only the intrinsic geometry, the other is…
We present an elementary review of some aspects of Chern-Simons theory with complex gauge group SL(N,C). We discuss some of the challenges in defining the theory as a full-fledged TQFT, as well as some successes inspired by the 3d-3d…
