Chern-simons Gauge Theory as a String Theory
Certain two dimensional topological field theories can be interpreted as string theory backgrounds in which the usual decoupling of ghosts and matter does not hold. Like ordinary string models, these can sometimes be given space-time interpretations. For instance, three-dimensional Chern-Simons gauge theory can arise as a string theory. The world-sheet model in this case involves a topological ...
متن کاملTopological closed-string interpretation of Chern-Simons theory.
The exact free energy of SU(N) Chern-Simons theory at level k is expanded in powers of (N + k)−2. This expansion keeps rank-level duality manifest, and simplifies as k becomes large, keeping N fixed (or vice versa)—this is the weak-coupling (strong-coupling) limit. With the standard normalization, the free energy on the three-sphere in this limit is shown to be the generating function of the Eu...
متن کاملChern-Simons-Witten Theory as a Topological Fermi Liquid
We reinterpret U(N) Chern-Simons-Witten theory quantized on a torus as a free fermion system. Its Hilbert space and some observables are simply related to those of group quantum mechanics, even at finite N and k. Its large N limit can be described using techniques developed for matrix quantum mechanics and two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory. We discuss the bosonization of this theory, which for ...
متن کاملInterpolating gauge fixing for Chern-Simons theory
Chern-Simons theory is analyzed with a gauge-fixing which allows to discuss the Landau gauge and the light-cone gauge at the same time.
متن کاملGauge Dependence in Chern-Simons Theory
We compute the contribution to the modulus of the one-loop effective action in pure non-Abelian Chern-Simons theory in an arbitrary covariant gauge. We find that the results are dependent on both the gauge parameter (α) and the metric required in the gauge fixing. A contribution arises that has not been previously encountered; it is of the form (α/ √ p2) μλνp λ. This is possible as in three dim...
