Lectures at the 1998 Les Houches Summer School: Topological Aspects of Low Dimensional Systems. These lectures contain an introduction to various aspects of Chern-Simons gauge theory: (i) basics of planar field theory, (ii) canonical quantization of Chern-Simons theory, (iii) Chern-Simons vortices, and (iv) radiatively induced Chern-Simons terms.

  1. One-loop effect in the charged 2D black hole near extremality

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    The one-loop correction to near-extremal quantum entropy in this charged 2D black hole is exponentially suppressed at low temperature but scales as sqrt(beta) when the sl(2,R) level and SL(2,R)-U(1) coupling are tuned...

    cond-mat.str-el 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    The effective Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory for FQH excitations admits a non-perturbative unitary SDiff-equivariant construction that is nevertheless non-differentiable.
