Gauge fixing and metric independence in topological quantum theories
Enore Guadagnini, Federico Rottoli, Frank Thuillier
We consider topological gauge theories in three dimensions which are defined by metric independent lagrangians. It has been claimed that the functional integration necessarily depe…
Geometric aspects of interpolating gauge fixing in Chern-Simons Theory
Laurent Gallot, Philippe Mathieu, Éric Pilon +1
In this article we investigate an interpolating gauge fixing procedure in -dimensional abelian Chern-Simons theory. We show that this interpolating gauge is related to the…
Flat connections in three-manifolds and classical Chern-Simons invariant
Enore Guadagnini, Philippe Mathieu, Frank Thuillier
A general method for the construction of smooth flat connections on 3-manifolds is introduced. The procedure is strictly connected with the deduction of the fundamental group of a…
Topological gauge fixing II: a homotopy formulation
Laurent Gallot, Eric Pilon, Frank Thuillier
We revisit the implementation of the metric-independent Fock-Schwinger gauge in the abelian Chern-Simons field theory defined in by means of a homotopy condition.…
Path-integral invariants in abelian Chern-Simons theory
Enore Guadagnini, Frank Thuillier
We consider the Chern-Simons gauge theory defined in a general closed oriented 3-manifold ; the functional integration is used to compute the normalized partition functio…
Topological gauge fixing
Laurent Gallot, Enore Guadagnini, Eric Pilon +1
We implement the metric-independent Fock-Schwinger gauge in the abelian quantum Chern-Simons field theory defined in . The expressions of the various components of t…
