Transgression forms and extensions of Chern-Simons gauge theories
A gauge invariant action principle, based on the idea of transgression forms, is proposed. The action extends the Chern-Simons form by the addition of a boundary term that makes the action gauge invariant (and not just quasi-invariant). Interpreting the spacetime manifold as cobordant to another one, the duplication of gauge fields in spacetime is avoided. The advantages of this approach are pa...
متن کاملChern-Simons Gauge Theories
We derive the general form for a three-dimensional scale-invariant field theory with N = 6 supersymmetry, SU(4) R-symmetry and a U(1) global symmetry. The results can be written in terms of a 3-algebra in which the triple product is not antisymmetric. For a specific choice of 3-algebra we obtain the N = 6 theories that have been recently proposed as models for M2-branes in an R/Zk orbifold back...
متن کاملElliptic Genera, Transgression and Loop Space Chern-simons Forms
We compute the Chern-Simons transgressed forms of some modularly invariant characteristic forms, which are related to the elliptic genera. We study the modularity properties of these secondary characteristic forms and the relations among them. We also compute the Chern-Simons forms of some vector bundles over free loop space.
متن کاملOn Pure Lattice Chern-Simons Gauge Theories
We revisit the lattice formulation of the Abelian Chern-Simons model defined on an infinite Euclidean lattice. We point out that any gauge invariant, local and parity odd Abelian quadratic form exhibits, in addition to the zero eigenvalue associated with the gauge invariance and to the physical zero mode at ~p = ~0 due to translational invariance, a set of extra zero eigenvalues inside the Bril...
