Chern Simons Theory

Abstract We perform the covariant operator quantization of the spin-$1$ model in $2+1$ spacetime dimensions to rigorously establish its dualities. For this purpose, the Kugo–Ojima–Nakanishi formalism, based on an indefinite metric Hilbert space in the Heisenberg picture, is used. We show that it is possible to extract a massive physical excitation constructed from a linear combination of the vector field $A_{\mu}$ and the $B$-field. In turn, we also show that this excitation generates the Maxwell–Chern–Simons theory. This is achieved by exploring the two-point function of the vector field.

Chern Simons Theory

We investigate a three-dimensional gauge theory modeled on Chern–Simons theory. The Lagrangian is most compactly written in terms of a two-index tensor that can be decomposed into fields with spins zero, one, and two. These all mix under the gauge transformation. The background-field method of quantization is used in conjunction with operator regularization to compute the real part of the two-point function for the scalar field.

Chern Simons Theory

It is shown that in the Abelian Chern–Simons plus Maxwell theory in 1 + 2 dimensions there is a unitary transformation such that massless modes of the gauge field are eliminated completely in the Hilbert space and a nonlocal interaction between matter fields (fermions or scalars) remains instead. The nonlocal interaction is given in terms of an effective gauge field satisfying the Gauss constraint. It is also pointed out that it is the nonlocal interaction that changes the statistics of pointlike particles and that makes a vortex charged.

Chern Simons Theory

We illustrate how boundary states are recovered when going from a noncommutative manifold to a commutative one with a boundary. Our example is the noncommutative plane with a defect, whose commutative limit was found to be a punctured plane - so here the boundary is one point. Defects were introduced by removing states from the standard harmonic oscillator Hilbert space. For Chern-Simons theory, the defect acts as a source, which was found to be associated with a nonlinear deformation of the w∞ algebra. The undeformed w∞ algebra is recovered in the commutative limit, and here we show that its spatial support is in a tiny region near the puncture.

We examine noncommutative Chern–Simons theory using operator regularization. Both the ζ function and the η function are needed to determine one-loop effects. The contributions to these functions coming from the two-point function is evaluated. The U(N) noncommutative model smoothly reduces to the SU(N) commutative model as the noncommutative parameter θμν vanishes.PACS Nos.: 11.10.–z

Abstract We consider Chern-Simons theory coupled to massive fundamental matter in three spacetime dimensions at finite temperature, in the large N limit. We compute several thermal correlators in this theory for both fermionic and bosonic matter separately. The results are computed in the large N ’t Hooft limit but for arbitrary values of the ’t Hooft coupling. Furthermore, we generalize the computations of the four-point function of fundamental scalars in the bosonic theory to finite temperature. As a consistency check, we see that the results obtained here agree with the existing previous results in different limiting cases. Moreover, we check that the results are consistent with the conjectured bosonization duality, providing an additional evidence of it.

Abstract We consider symmetry-resolved entanglement entropy in AdS3/CFT2 coupled to U(1) Chern-Simons theory. We identify the holographic dual of the charged moments in the two-dimensional conformal field theory as a charged Wilson line in the bulk of AdS3, namely the Ryu-Takayanagi geodesic minimally coupled to the U(1) Chern-Simons gauge field. We identify the holonomy around the Wilson line as the Aharonov-Bohm phases which, in the two-dimensional field theory, are generated by charged U(1) vertex operators inserted at the endpoints of the entangling interval. Furthermore, we devise a new method to calculate the symmetry resolved entanglement entropy by relating the generating function for the charged moments to the amount of charge in the entangling subregion. We calculate the subregion charge from the U(1) Chern-Simons gauge field sourced by the bulk Wilson line. We use our method to derive the symmetry-resolved entanglement entropy for Poincaré patch and global AdS3, as well as for the conical defect geometries. In all three cases, the symmetry resolved entanglement entropy is determined by the length of the Ryu-Takayanagi geodesic and the Chern-Simons level k, and fulfills equipartition of entanglement. The asymptotic symmetry algebra of the bulk theory is of $$ \hat{\mathfrak{u}}{(1)}_k $$ u ̂ 1 k Kac-Moody type. Employing the $$ \hat{\mathfrak{u}}{(1)}_k $$ u ̂ 1 k Kac-Moody symmetry, we confirm our holographic results by a calculation in the dual conformal field theory.
