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 consider a generalization of the abelian Higgs model with a Chern-Simons term by modifying two terms of the usual Lagrangian. We multiply a dielectric function with the Maxwell kinetic energy term and incorporate nonminimal interaction…

We analyze (2+1)-dimensional gravity with a Chern--Simons term and a negative cosmological constant, primarily at the weak field level. The full theory is expressible as the sum of two higher derivative SL(2,R) "vector" Chern-Simons terms,…

We consider quantum field theories on supermanifolds using integral forms. The latter are used to define a geometric theory of integration and they are essential for a consistent action principle. The construction relies on Picture Changing…

We use the topological quantum field theory description of states in Chern-Simons theory to discuss the relation between spacetime connectivity and entanglement, exploring the paradigm entanglement=topology. We define a special class 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…

It is shown that in all odd dimensional Chern-Simons theories states in which the torsion is non zero (but it can approach smoothly to zero outside suitable regions) do exist. Some possible observational effects related to neutrino…

The three dimensional N=2 supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory coupled to matter fields, possibly deformed by a superpotential, give rise to a large class of exactly conformal theories with Lagrangian descriptions. These theories can be…

The higher derivative field theories are notorious for the stability problems both at classical and quantum level. Classical instability is connected with unboundedness of the canonical energy, while the unbounded energy spectrum leads to…

Three dimensional, $U(N)$ symmetric, field theory with fermion matter coupled to a topological Chern--Simons term, in the large $N$ limit is analyzed in details. We determine the conditions for the existence of a massless conformal…

Chern-Weil and Chern-Simons theory extend to certain infinite-rank bundles that appear in mathematical physics. We discuss what is known of the invariant theory of the corresponding infinite-dimensional Lie groups. We use these techniques…

We verify the consistency of the G\"odel-type solutions within the four-dimensional Chern-Simons modified gravity with the non-dynamical Chern-Simons coefficient, for different forms of matter including dust, fluid, scalar field and…

The universal Vassiliev invariant from the perturbative Chern-Simons theory is actually a knot invariant without any correction term. The anomaly considered by Bott and Taubes is proved to be zero.

We generalize the framework introduced by Kapustin et al. for doing path integral localization in Chern-Simons theory to work on any Seifert manifold. This is done by topologically twisting the supersymmetric theory considered by Kapustin…

We study a class of generalized Chern-Simons equations on discrete lattice graphs. By an iterative scheme combined with an exhaustion argument, we establish the existence of topological solutions, which is also the maximal topological…

We give a precise formulation of the M-theory 3-form potential C in a fashion applicable to topologically nontrivial situations. In our model the 3-form is related to the Chern-Simons form of an E8 gauge field. This leads to a precise…

The Chern-Simons theories on a noncommutative plane, which is shown to be describing the quantum Hall liquid, is considered. We introduce matter fields fundamentally coupled to the noncommutative Chern-Simons field. Exploiting BPS equations…

We show that the pure gauge anomalies of 6d $\mathcal N=(1,0)$ theories compactified on a circle are captured by field-dependent Chern-Simons terms appearing at one-loop in the 5d effective theories. These terms vanish if and only if…

We study the topological entanglement negativity between two spatial regions in (2+1)-dimensional Chern-Simons gauge theories by using the replica trick and the surgery method. For a bipartitioned or tripartitioned spatial manifold, we show…

We construct and study a new topological field theory in three dimensions. It is a hybrid between Chern-Simons and Rozansky-Witten theory and can be regarded as a topologically-twisted version of the N=4 d=3 supersymmetric gauge theory…
