Gauge-fixing, semiclassical approximation and potentials for graded Chern-Simons theories
We perform the Batalin-Vilkovisky analysis of gauge-fixing for graded Chern-Simons theories. Upon constructing an appropriate gauge-fixing fermion, we implement a Landau-type constraint, finding a simple form of the gauge-fixed action. This allows us to extract the associated Feynman rules taking into account the role of ghosts and antighosts. Our gauge-fixing procedure allows for zero-modes, h...
متن کاملOn the Holomorphic Gauge Quantization of the Chern-Simons Theory and Laughlin Wave Functions
Chern-Simons-Matter Lagrangian with noncompact gauge symmetry group is considered. The theory is quantized in the holomorphic gauge with a complex gauge fixing condition. The model is discussed, in which the the gauge and matter fields are accompanied by the complex conjugate counterparts. It is argued, that such a theory represents an adequate framework for the description of the quantum Hall ...
متن کاملChern–Simons Perturbation Theory
We study the perturbation theory for three dimensional Chern–Simons quantum field theory on a general compact three manifold without boundary. We show that after a simple change of variables, the action obtained by BRS gauge fixing in the Lorentz gauge has a superspace formulation. The basic properties of the propagator and the Feynman rules are written in a precise manner in the language of di...
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...
متن کاملGauss Law Constraints in Chern-Simons Theory From BRST Quantization
When we discuss knot invariants in terms of Chern-Simons theory [1–6] and the relationship between Chern-Simons field theory and conformal field theory , an important relation is Gauss law constraint in presence of Wilson line, which was first given in ref. [1]. This relation plays an important role in proving that states of Chern-Simons theory satisfy the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation [9–13]...
