Quantization of SL(2,R) Chern-Simons theory
Creators
Description
We discuss Chern-Simons gauge theory with an SL(2, R) gauge group on an arbitrary 3-manifold M. The SL(2, R) Chern-Simons action is defined for gauge bundles over M of arbitrary topological type. The geometric quantization of SL(2, R) Chern-Simons theory is discussed and related to the quantization of Teichmueller space. The generation to Chern-Simons theory with an SL(n, R) gauge group is also considered. (orig.)
