Chern - Simons expectation values and quantum horizons from LQG and the Duflo map
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on a new approach to the calculation of Chern-Simons theory expectation values, using the mathematical underpinnings of loop quantum gravity, as well as the Duflo map, a quantization map for functions on Lie algebras. These new developments can be used in the quantum theory for certain types of black hole horizons, and they may offer new insights for loop quantum gravity, Chern-Simons theory and the theory of quantum groups.

Leptogenesis and tensor polarisation from a gravitational Chern-Simons term
Within an effective field theory derived from string theory, it may be reasonable for the action to contain the gravitational Chern-Simons (gCS) term, coupled to say the universal axion. During any era when the axion field is varying, the vacuum fluctuation of the gravitational wave amplitude will then be circularly polarised, generating an expectation value for the gCS term. The polarisation m...
متن کاملWilson loops in 3 - dimensional N = 6 supersymmetric Chern - Simons Theory and their string theory duals
We study Wilson loops in the three-dimensional N = 6 supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory recently constructed by Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis and Maldacena, that is conjectured to be dual to type IIA string theory on AdS4×CP. We construct loop operators in the Chern-Simons theory which preserve 1/6 of the supercharges and calculate their expectation value up to 2-loop order at weak coupling. The e...
متن کاملChern-Simons Field Theories with Non-semisimple Gauge Group of Symmetry
Subject of this work is a class of Chern-Simons field theories with nonsemisimple gauge group, which may well be considered as the most straightforward generalization of an Abelian Chern-Simons field theory. As a matter of fact these theories, which are characterized by a non-semisimple group of gauge symmetry, have cubic interactions like those of non-abelian Chern-Simons field theories, but a...
متن کاملQuantum Geometry of Isolated Horizons and Black Hole Entropy
Using the classical Hamiltonian framework of [1] as the point of departure, we carry out a non-perturbative quantization of the sector of general relativity, coupled to matter, admitting non-rotating isolated horizons as inner boundaries. The emphasis is on the quantum geometry of the horizon. Polymer excitations of the bulk quantum geometry pierce the horizon endowing it with area. The intrins...
متن کاملQuantum aspects of Seiberg-Witten map in noncommutative Chern-Simons theory
Noncommutative Chern-Simons theory can be classically mapped to commutative Chern-Simons theory by the Seiberg-Witten map. We provide evidence that the equivalence persists at the quantum level by computing two and three-point functions of field strengths on the commutative side and their Seiberg-Witten transforms on the noncommutative side to the first nontrivial order in perturbation theory. ...
