چکیده

We examine the claim that the effective action of four-dimensional SU(2) L gauge theory at high and low temperature contains a three-dimensional Chern-Simons term with coefficient being the chemical potential for baryon number. We perform calculations in a two-dimensional toy model and find that the existence of the term is rather subtle.

Aspects of Chern-Simons Theory

Lectures at the 1998 Les Houches Summer School: Topological Aspects of Low Dimensional Systems. These lectures contain an introduction to various aspects of Chern-Simons gauge theory: (i) basics of planar field theory, (ii) canonical quantization of Chern-Simons theory, (iii) Chern-Simons vortices, and (iv) radiatively induced Chern-Simons terms.

Black Hole Entropy in the presence of Chern-Simons Terms

We derive a formula for the black hole entropy in theories with gravitational Chern-Simons terms, by generalizing Wald’s argument which uses the Noether charge. It correctly reproduces the entropy of three-dimensional black holes in the presence of Chern-Simons term, which was previously obtained via indirect methods.

Two Loop Finiteness of Chern-Simons Field Theory in Background Field Method

Two-loop calculation of Chern-Simons field theory in background field method is performed. It is explictly shown that the pole terms cancel exactly and hence two-loop finiteness of Chern-Simons field theory is verified.

HU-SEFT R 1996-10 AS-ITP-1996-12 Gauss Law Constraints in Chern-Simons Theory From BRST Quantization

The physical state condition in the BRST quantization of Chern-Simons field theory is used to derive Gauss law constraints in the presence of Wilson loops, which play important role in explicitly establishing the connection of Chern-Simons field theory with 2-dimensional conformal field theory. When we discuss knot invariants in terms of Chern-Simons theory [1–6] and the relationship between Ch...
