Reidemeister torsion, the Alexander polynomial and Chern-Simons theory
Lev Rozansky, Herbert Saleur
We show that the (super) Chern Simons theory is one loop exact. This provides a direct proof of the relation between the Alexander polynomial and analytic and Reidemeister…
On an algebraic approach to higher dimensional statistical mechanics
P. Martin, Herbert Saleur
We study representations of Temperley-Lieb algebras associated with the transfer matrix formulation of statistical mechanics on arbitrary lattices. We first discuss a new hyperfini…
N=2 Supersymmetry, Painleve III and Exact Scaling Functions in 2D Polymers
P. Fendley, H. Saleur
We discuss in this paper various aspects of the off-critical model in two dimensions. We find the ground-state energy conjectured by Zamolodchikov for the unitary minimal mo…
S and T matrices for the super WZW model. Application to surgery and 3-manifold invariants based on the Alexander Conway polynomial
Lev Rozansky, Herbert Saleur
We carry on the study of the Alexander Conway invariant from the quantum field theory point of view started in \cite{RS91}. We first discuss in details and matrices for the…
