Chern-Simons Theory on Seifert 3-Manifolds (1306.3381v1)
Published 14 Jun 2013 in hep-th, math-ph, math.GT, and math.MP
Abstract: We study Chern-Simons theory on 3-manifolds M that are circle-bundles over 2-dimensional orbifolds S by the method of Abelianisation. This method, which completely sidesteps the issue of having to integrate over the moduli space of non-Abelian flat connections, reduces the complete partition function of the non-Abelian theory on M to a 2-dimensional Abelian theory on the orbifold S which is easily evaluated.
