Explicit connection between conformal field theory and 2+1 Chern-Simons theory

Abstract

We give explicit field theoretical representations for the observables of 2+1 dimensional Chern-Simons theory in terms of gauge invariant composites of 2D WZW fields. To test our identification we compute some basic Wilson loop correlators reobtaining known results.
