Computation of Lickorish’s Three Manifold Invariants using Chern-Simons Theory
It is well known that any three-manifold can be obtained by surgery on a framed link in S. Lickorish gave an elementary proof for the existence of the three-manifold invariants of Witten using a framed link description of the manifold and the formalisation of the bracket polynomial as the Temperley-Lieb Algebra. Kaul determined three-manifold invariants from link polynomials in SU(2) Chern-Simo...
متن کاملChern-Simons theory, matrix integrals, and perturbative three-manifold invariants
The universal perturbative invariants of rational homology spheres can be extracted from the Chern-Simons partition function by combining perturbative and nonperturbative results. We spell out the general procedure to compute these invariants, and we work out in detail the case of Seifert spaces. By extending some previous results of Lawrence and Rozansky, the Chern-Simons partition function wi...
متن کاملChern-Simons theory and three-dimensional surfaces
There are two natural Chern-Simons theories associated with the embedding of a three-dimensional surface in Euclidean space; one is constructed using the induced metric connection – it involves only the intrinsic geometry, the other is extrinsic and uses the connection associated with the gauging of normal rotations. As such, the two theories appear to describe very different aspects of the sur...
متن کاملNew Gauge Invariant Formulation of the Chern - Simons Gauge Theory
A new gauge invariant formulation of the relativistic scalar field interacting with Chern-Simons gauge fields is considered. This formulation is consistent with the gauge fixed formulation. Furthermore we find that canonical (Noether) Poincaré generators are not gauge invariant even on the constraints surface and do not satisfy the (classical) Poincaré algebra. It is the improved generators, co...
متن کاملYangian-invariant scattering amplitudes in supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory.
We propose a generating function for scattering amplitudes of N=6 supersymmetric-Chern-Simons theory, which parallels a recent work on N=4 supersymmetric-Yang-Mills theory by Arkani-Hamed et al. Our result suggests that the scattering amplitudes of the supersymmetric-Chern-Simons theory exhibit Yangian invariance.
