Chern - Simons term and Topological Charge on the Lattice
نویسنده
چکیده
In a somewhat overlooked work by Seiberg, a definition of the topological charge for SU(N) lattice fields was given. Here, it is shown that Seibergs and Lüschers charge definition are related up to the section of the bundle. With the continued interest in baryon number violating processes, Seibergs paper is useful since it allows for a Chern-Simons number also.

Topological excitations in compact Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory.
We construct a lattice model of compact (2+1)-dimensional Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory, starting from its formulation in terms of gauge invariant quantities proposed by Deser and Jackiw. We thereby identify the topological excitations and their interactions. These consist of monopole-antimonopole pairs bounded by strings carrying both magnetic flux and electric charge. The electric charge render...
متن کاملChern - Simons term in the 4 - dimensional SU ( 2 ) Higgs Model
Using Seibergs definition for the geometric charge in SU(2) lattice gauge theory, we have managed to apply it also to the Chern-Simons term. We checked the periodic structure and determined the Chern-Simons density on small lattices L and L × 2, 4 with L = 4, 6, and 8 near the critical region in the SU(2) Higgs model. The data indicate that tunneling is increased at high temperature. aTalk pres...
متن کاملRotating Electric Classical Solutions of 2 + 1 D U ( 1 ) Einstein - Dilaton - Maxwell - Chern - Simons
We study electric stationary radial symmetric classical solutions of the U(1) Dilaton-Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory with a cosmological constant in 2 + 1 dimensions. Generic aspects of the theory are discussed at an introductory level. It is found a rotating electric point particle. For some values of the parameters the singularity is dressed (in the sense that itself constitutes an hori...

We show that it is possible to formulate Abelian Chern-Simons theory on a lattice as a topological field theory. We discuss the relationship between gauge invariance of the Chern-Simons lattice action and the topological interpretation of the canonical structure. We show that these theories are exactly solvable and have the same degrees of freedom as the analogous continuum theories. In the con...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Chern-Simons Theory and Supersymmetric Quantum Hall Liquid
We develop a supersymmetric extension of Chern-Simons theory and Chern-Simons-LandauGinzburg theory for the supersymmetric quantum Hall liquid. Supersymmetric counterparts of topological and gauge structures peculiar to the Chern-Simons theory are inspected in the supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory. We also explore an effective field theoretical description for the supersymmetric quantum Hall l...
