Concepts and techniques from the theory of G-structures of higher order are applied to the study of certain structures (volume forms, conformal structures, linear connections and projective structures) defined on a pseudo-Riemanniann…
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 show how to define and go from the spin-s spherical harmonics to the tensorial spin-s harmonics. These quantities, which are functions on the sphere taking values as Euclidean tensors, turn out to be extremely useful for many…
We compute explicitly the Schr\"odinger picture space of states of SU(2) Chern-Simons theory on $T^2\times R$ in the presence of temporal Wilson lines. Relation with Friedan-Shenker bundle of conformal field theory and the existence of a…
We investigate the weak-field, post-Newtonian expansion to the solution of the field equations in Chern-Simons gravity with a perfect fluid source. In particular, we study the mapping of this solution to the parameterized post-Newtonian…
Chern-Simons (CS) $\theta$-systems are described by a $\theta \int F\wedge F$ term in the action ($\theta$ is an adimensional parameter), which does not change field equations in the bulk, but affects the system behaviour when it is…
In (2+1) dimensions, the Maxwell term $-(1/4) F_{\alpha\beta}F^{\alpha\beta}$ can be replaced by the Chern-Simons three-form $(\kappa/4)\epsilon^{\alpha\beta\gamma}A_\alpha F_{\beta\gamma}$, yielding a novel type of `electromagnetism'. This…
We write the most general parity-even re-normalizable Chern-Simons term for massive axial-vector propagating torsion fields. After obtaining the most comprehensive action, we perform the causal structure analysis to see what…
The geometric action on a certain orbit of the group of the area-preserving diffeomorphisms is considered, and it is shown, that it coincides with a special reduction of the three-dimensional Chern-Simons theory, under which group and space…
In this note, we study the local properties of the Chern-scalar curvature function by looking at its linearization. In particular, we study its linearization stability and the structure of the space of Hermitian metrics with prescribed…
Maximal estimates for Schr\"odinger means and convergence almost everywhere of sequences of Schr\"odinger means are studied.
In the top-down holographic model of QCD based on D4/D8-branes in type IIA string theory and some of the bottom up models, the low energy effective theory of mesons is described by a 5 dimensional Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory in a certain…
We formulate Poisson Chern-Simons gauge theories on compact group manifolds. These describe a sector of the large representation limit of noncommutative Chern-Simons in the same way as the light-cone formulation of the membrane action…
The general conditions for the Chern-Simons action to be induced as a nonuniversal contribution of fermionic determinant are formulated in the finite temperature lattice QCD. The dependence of the corresponding action coefficient on…
We identify a class of 2+1 dimensional models, involving multiple Chern-Simons gauge fields, in which a form of classical confinement occurs. This confinement is not cumulative, but allows finite mass combinations of individually confined…
Let $M$ be a 3-manifold with a finite set $X(M)$ of conjugacy classes of representations $\rho:\pi_1(M)\to$SU$_2$. We study here the distribution of the values of the Chern-Simons function CS$:X(M)\to \mathbb{R}/2\pi\mathbb{Z}$. We observe…

We define and solve the $\text{U(1)}$ Chern-Simons-Maxwell theory on spacetime lattice, with an emphasis on the chirality of the theory. Realizing Chern-Simons theory on lattice has been a problem of interest for decades, and over the years…
