Observables in Chern-Simons theory
Michail Tagaris, Frank Thuillier
In this article, we will compute the expectation value of observables (which appear as Wilson loops) in Chern-Simons theory for closed oriented -manifolds. We…

Chern-Simons theory: partition function, reciprocity formula and Chern-Simons duality
Han-Miru Kim, Philippe Mathieu, Michail Tagaris +1
The Chern-Simons theory can be extended to a topological theory by taking a combination of Chern-Simons and BF actions, the mixing being achieved…
