Refined Chern-Simons versus Vogel universality

چکیده
Abstract We study the relation between the partition function of refined SU(N) and SO(2N) Chern-Simons on the 3-sphere and the universal Chern-Simons partition function in the sense of Mkrtchyan and Veselov. We find a four-parameter generalization of the integral representation of universal Chern-Simons that includes refined SU(N) and SO(2N) Chern-Simons for special values of parameters. The large N expansion of the integral representation of refined SU(N) Chern-Simons explicitly shows the replacement of the virtual Euler characteristic of the moduli space of complex curves with a refined Euler characteristic related to the radius deformed c=1 string free energy.

Universality and Ultraviolet Regularizations of Chern-Simons Theory
The universality of radiative corrections to the gauge coupling constant k of ChernSimons theory is studied in a very general regularization scheme. We show that the effective coupling constant k induced by radiative corrections depends crucially on the balance between the ultraviolet behavior of scalar and pseudoscalar terms in the regularized action. There are three different regimes. When th...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Index Of Three-Dimensional Gauge Theory
In N = 1 super Yang-Mills theory in three spacetime dimensions, with a simple gauge group G and a Chern-Simons interaction of level k, the supersymmetric index Tr (−1)F can be computed by making a relation to a pure Chern-Simons theory or microscopically by an explicit Born-Oppenheimer calculation on a two-torus. The result shows that supersymmetry is unbroken if |k| ≥ h/2 (with h the dual Coxe...
متن کاملQuantum Diffusion Process with a Complex Weight on Three Dimensional Lattice
A rigorous definition of a path integral for a spinning particle in three dimensions is given on a regular cubic lattice. The critical diffusion constant and the associated critical exponents in each spin are calculated. Continuum field theories such as Klein-Gordon, Dirac and massive Chern-Simons theories are constructed near these critical points. The universality of obtained results is argue...
متن کاملEmergent CPT violation from the splitting of Fermi points
In a fermionic quantum vacuum, the parameters kμ of a CPT-violating Chern–Simons-like action term induced by CPT-violating parameters bμ of the fermionic sector depend on the universality class of the system. As a concrete example, consider the Dirac Hamiltonian of a fermionic quasiparticle with effective rest energy M and add a term with purely-spacelike CPTviolating parameters bμ = (0,b). Dep...
متن کاملFractional Quantum Hall States from Non-commutative Chern–Simons Theory
Low energy excitations of fractional quantumHall states are described by Landau–Ginzburg theory of superfluid coupled with a vector potential whose effective action includes a Chern–Simons term. In [1], Susskind suggested that a better description of these states is provided by a non-commutative Chern–Simons theory with gauge group U(1). This idea was refined by Polychronakos [2], who proposed ...
