چکیده

We consider minimally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with a Chern-Simons term on a flat spatial two-torus in the limit when the torus becomes small. The zero modes of the fields then decouple from the nonzero modes and give rise to a spectrum of states with energies that are given by multiples of the square of the coupling constant. We discuss the determination of this low-energy spectrum, both for simply connected gauge groups and for gauge groups of adjoint type, with a few examples worked out in detail.

Yangian-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.

N = 2 Superstring Theory Generates Supersymmetric Chern-simons Theories

We show that the action of self-dual supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in four-dimensions, which describes the consistent massless background fields for N = 2 superstring, generates the actions for N = 1 and N = 2 supersymmetric non-Abelian Chern-Simons theories in three-dimensions after appropriate dimensional reductions. Since the latters play important roles for supersymmetric integrable mode...

Moduli Space of Vacua of Supersymmetric Chern-Simons Theories and Type IIB Branes

We study the correspondence between the moduli space of vacua of three-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills (Maxwell) Chern-Simons theories and brane configurations with (p, q)5-brane. For Coulomb branches, the number of the massless adjoint scalar fields in various supersymmetric theories exactly coincides with the number of the freely moving directions of D3-branes stretched between two 5-br...

A Note On The Chern-Simons And Kodama Wavefunctions

Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions formally admits an exact Chern-Simons wavefunction. It is an eigenfunction of the quantum Hamiltonian with zero energy. It is known to be unphysical for a variety of reasons, but it is still interesting to understand what it describes. We show that in expanding around this state, positive helicity gauge bosons have positive energy and negative helicity ones ...

Ground states of supersymmetric Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory

We consider minimally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with a Chern-Simons term on a flat spatial two-torus. The Witten index may be computed in the weak coupling limit, where the ground state wave-functions localize on the moduli space of flat gauge connections. We perform such computations by considering this moduli space as an orbifold of a certain flat complex torus. Our results agree with ...
