Arithmetic Chern-Simons theory with real places
Abstract
The goal of this paper is two-fold: we generalize the arithmetic Chern-Simons theory over totally imaginary number fields studied in [Kim15, CKK+16] to arbitrary number fields (with real places) and provide new examples of non-trivial arithmetic Chern-Simons invariant with coefficient associated to a non-abelian gauge group. The main idea for the generalization is to use cohomology with compact support (see [Mil06]) to deal with real places. Before the results of this paper, non-trivial examples were limited to some non-abelian gauge group with coefficient in [CKK+16] and the abelian cyclic gauge group with coefficient in [BCG+18]. Our non-trivial examples (with non-abelian gauge group and general coefficient ) will be given by a simple twisting argument based on examples of [BCG+18].
