Here we show how this is reproduced by the Chern-Simons theory. If we live on the plane R2 or the sphere S2, then Chern-Simons theory has just a single state.

Chern–Simons theory is an exercise in the simplicity, beauty, and weirdness of topology. It is an archetypical example of a topological field theory, a quantum ...

Section 3 is devoted to the canonical structure and canonical quantization of Chern-Simons theories. This is phrased in quan- tum mechanical language using a ...

Chern-Simons theory is a quantum field theory in the sweet spot of being very computable and highly non- trivial.

Abstract. A review is made of the main properties of the Chern-Simons field theory. These include the dynamical mass generation to the photon.
