چکیده
We use some BRS techniques to construct Chern-Simons forms generalizing the Chern character of K1 groups in the Cuntz-Quillen description of cyclic homology. MSC91: 19D55, 81T13, 81T50

In string theory, nilpotence of the BRS operator δ for the string functional relates the Chern-Simons term in the gauge-invariant antisymmetric tensor field strength to the central term in the Kac-Moody algebra. We generalize these ideas to p-branes with odd p and find that the Kac-Moody algebra for the string becomes the Mickelsson-Faddeev algebra for the p-brane.
متن کاملPhysically meaningful and not so meaningful symmetries in Chern-Simons theory.
We explicitly show that the Landau gauge supersymmetry of Chern-Simons theory does not have any physical significance. In fact, the difference between an effective action both BRS invariant and Landau supersymmetric and an effective action only BRS invariant is a finite field redefinition. Having established this, we use a BRS invariant regulator that defines CS theory as the large mass limit o...
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 کاملOn Consistency Of Noncommutative Chern–Simons Theory
We consider the noncommutative extension of Chern-Simons theory. We show the the theory can be fully expanded in power series of the noncommutative parameter θ and that no non-analytical sector exists. The theory appears to be unstable under radiative corrections, but we show that the infinite set of instabilities, to all orders in h̄ and in θ, is confined to a BRS exact cocycle. We show also th...
متن کاملOn Chern-simons Matrix Models
The contribution of reducible connections to the U(N) Chern-Simons invariant of a Seifert manifold M can be expressed in some cases in terms of matrix integrals. We show that the U(N) evaluation of the LMO invariant of any rational homology sphere admits a matrix model representation which agrees with the Chern-Simons matrix integral for Seifert spheres and the trivial connection.
