Interpolating 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...
متن کاملMirror Maps in Chern-Simons Gauge Theory
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 sigma-models can be obtained from discrete geometric transformations of compact Chern-Simons gauge theory coupled to charged matter fields. We demonstrate t...
متن کاملVortices in (abelian) Chern-Simons gauge theory
The vortex solutions of various classical planar field theories with (abelian) Chern-Simons term are reviewed. Relativistic vortices, put forward by Paul and Khare, arise when the Abelian Higgs model is augmented with the Chern-Simons term. Adding a suitable sixth-order potential and turning off the Maxwell term provides us with pure Chern-Simons theory with both topological and non-topological...
متن کاملChern-simons Gauge Theory: Ten Years After
A brief review on the progress made in the study of Chern-Simons gauge theory since its relation to knot theory was discovered ten years ago is presented. Emphasis is made on the analysis of the perturbative study of the theory and its connection to the theory of Vassiliev invariants. It is described how the study of the quantum field theory for three different gauge fixings leads to three diff...
