W Gravity From Chern–Simons Theory
Starting with three dimensional Chern–Simons theory with gauge group Sl(N, IR), we derive an action Scov invariant under both left and right WN transformations. We give an interpretation of Scov in terms of anomalies, and discuss its relation with Toda theory. e-mail: [email protected] e-mail: [email protected]
متن کاملEinstein Gravity as a Deformed Chern - Simons Theory
The usual description of 2 + 1 dimensional Einstein gravity as a Chern-Simons (CS) theory is extended to a one parameter family of descriptions of 2 + 1 Einstein gravity. This is done by replacing the Poincaré gauge group symmetry by a q−deformed Poincaré gauge group symmetry, with the former recovered when q → 1. As a result, we obtain a one parameter family of Hamiltonian formulations for 2 +...
متن کاملQuantum Hall states as matrix Chern-Simons theory
We propose a finite Chern-Simons matrix model on the plane as an effective description of fractional quantum Hall fluids of finite extent. The quantization of the inverse filling fraction and of the quasiparticle number is shown to arise quantum mechanically and to agree with Laughlin theory. We also point out the effective equivalence of this model, and therefore of the quantum Hall system, wi...
متن کاملChern-Simons Theory for Quantum Hall Stripes
– We develop a Chern-Simons theory to describe a two-dimensional electron gas in intermediate magnetic fields. Within this approach, inhomogeneous states emerge in analogy to the intermediate state of a superconductor. At half filling of the highest Landau level we find unidirectional charge-density-wave (CDW) solutions. With a semiclassical calculation we give an intuitive explanation of the c...
متن کاملThe Coupling of Chern-Simons Theory to Topological Gravity
We couple Chern-Simons gauge theory to 3-dimensional topological gravity with the aim of investigating its quantum topological invariance. We derive the relevant BRST rules and Batalin-Vilkovisky action. Standard BRST transformations of the gauge field are modified by terms involving both its anti-field and the super-ghost of topological gravity. Beyond the obvious couplings to the metric and t...
