Chern-Simons Gauge Theories
We derive the general form for a three-dimensional scale-invariant field theory with N = 6 supersymmetry, SU(4) R-symmetry and a U(1) global symmetry. The results can be written in terms of a 3-algebra in which the triple product is not antisymmetric. For a specific choice of 3-algebra we obtain the N = 6 theories that have been recently proposed as models for M2-branes in an R/Zk orbifold back...
متن کاملSuperconformal Chern–Simons Theories
A Lagrangian description of a maximally supersymmetric conformal field theory in three dimensions was constructed recently by Bagger and Lambert (BL). The BL theory has SO(4) gauge symmetry and contains scalar and spinor fields that transform as 4-vectors. We verify that this theory has OSp(8|4) superconformal symmetry and that it is parity conserving despite the fact that it contains a Chern–S...
متن کاملSources for Chern-Simons theories
The coupling between Chern-Simons theories and matter sources defined by branes of different dimensionalities is examined. It is shown that the standard coupling to membranes, such as the one found in supergravity or in string theory, does not operate in the same way for CS theories; the only p-branes that naturally couple seem to be those with p = 2n; these p-branes break the gauge symmetry (a...
متن کاملQuiver Chern-Simons theories and crystals
We consider N = 2 quiver Chern-Simons theories described by brane tilings, whose moduli spaces are toric Calabi-Yau 4-folds. Simple prescriptions to obtain toric data of the moduli space and a corresponding brane crystal from a brane tiling are proposed. ∗ E-mail: [email protected] † E-mail: [email protected]
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Chern-Simons and BF Theories
Our aim in this note is to clarify a relationship between covariant Chern-Simons 3-dimensional theory and Schwartz type topological field theory known also as BF theory.
