ChernSimonstype
Chern-Simons theory is a topological quantum field theory in (2+1) dimensions. It is named after the mathematicians Shiing-Shen Chern and Jürgen Simons, who introduced the Chern-Simons form in the context of differential geometry. The theory itself was developed by Edward Witten, who explored its applications in knot theory and quantum gravity.
A key feature of Chern-Simons theory is its topological nature. This means that its physical observables, such
In mathematics, Chern-Simons theory provides a powerful framework for understanding and computing knot invariants, such as
In physics, Chern-Simons theory has found applications in various areas, including the fractional quantum Hall effect,
