5d-4d Correspondence in Twisted M-theory on a Conifold

Meer Ashwinkumar, Mir Faizal, Arshid Shabir +2

We study twisted M-theory in a general conifold background, and describe it in terms of a 5d non-commutative Chern-Simons-matter theory, which is equivalent to 5d non-commutative C…

On the Hilbert Space of the Chern-Simons Matrix Model, Deformed Double Current Algebra Action, and the Conformal Limit

Sen Hu, Si Li, Dongheng Ye +1

A Chern-Simons matrix model was proposed by Dorey, Tong, and Turner to describe non-Abelian fractional quantum Hall effect. In this paper we study the Hilbert space of the Chern-Si…
