Chern-Simons theory, matrix integrals, and perturbative three-manifold invariants | | Marcos Marino

10 Jul 2002 | | Journal: | Commun.Math.Phys. 253 (2004) 25-49 | | Subject: | High Energy Physics - Theory; Geometric Topology; Quantum Algebra | hep-th math.GT math.QA | | Abstract: | The universal perturbative invariants of rational homology spheres can be extracted from the Chern-Simons partition function by combining perturbative and nonperturbative results. We spell out the general procedure to compute these invariants, and we work out in detail the case of Seifert spaces. By extending some previous results of Lawrence and Rozansky, the Chern-Simons partition function with arbitrary simply-laced group for these spaces is written in terms of matrix integrals. The analysis of the perturbative expansion amounts to the evaluation of averages in a Gaussian ensemble of random matrices. As a result, explicit expressions for the universal perturbative invariants of Seifert homology spheres up to order five are presented. | | Source: | arXiv, hep-th/0207096 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
