Chern-Simons gauge theory and Witten's invariant
introduction
- 3D TQFT( Chern-Simons theory)
- CS is an invariant for 3-manifolds
- Kashaev Volume conjecture
- action
\(S=\frac{k}{4\pi}\int_M \text{tr}\,(A\wedge dA+\tfrac{2}{3}A\wedge A\wedge A)=\frac{k}{4\pi}\int_M \text{tr}\,(A\wedge dA+\tfrac{1}{3}A\wedge [A,A])\)
Morse theory approach
- Taubes, Floer interpret the Chern-Simons function as a Morse function on the space of all gauge fields modulo the action of the group of gauge transformations
- analogous to Euler characteristic of a manifold can be computed as the signed count of Morse indices
Chern-Simons and arithmetic
The Chern-Simons invariants of a closed 3-manifold are secondary characteristic numbers that are given in terms of a finite set of phases in the unit circle. Hyperbolic 3-dimensional geometry links these phases with arithmetic, and identifies them with values of the Rogers dilogarithm at algebraic numbers. The quantization of these invariants are the famous Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants of 3-manifolds, constructed by the Jones polynomial. In the talk we will review conjectures regarding the asymptotics of the quantum 3-manifold invariants, and their relation to Chern-Simons theory and arithmetic. We will review progress on those conjectures, theoretical, and experimental.
