Canonical quantization of lattice Chern-Simons theory (2401.09597v1)

Published 17 Jan 2024 in hep-th and hep-lat

Abstract: We discuss the canonical quantization of $U(1)_k$ Chern-Simons theory on a spatial lattice. In addition to the usual local Gauss law constraints, the physical Hilbert space is defined by 1-form gauge constraints implementing the compactness of the $U(1)$ gauge group, and (depending on the details of the spatial lattice) non-local constraints which project out unframed Wilson loops. Though the ingredients of the lattice model are bosonic, the physical Hilbert space is finite-dimensional, with exactly $k$ ground states on a spatial torus. We quantize both the bosonic (even level) and fermionic (odd level) theories, describing in detail how the latter depends on a choice of spin structure.
