Hamiltonian quantization of Chern Simons theory with <i>SL</i> (2,  ) group (Q4789667)

The problem of Hamiltonian quantization of Chern-Simons theory associated with the real group \(\text{SL}(2,\mathbb C)_{\mathbb R}\) the universal covering group of the Lorentz group \(\text{SO} (3,1)\), is analyzed in detail here. After an introduction the summary of the combinatorial quantization formalism is given in the compact group case. This is followed by the considerations of unitary representations of the moduli algebras. The final section gives an extensive discussion with conclusions. Several questions of mathematical interest and physical relevance are carefully formulated, analyzed and discussed in depth. Generally the proofs are provided for most of the assertions. This paper covers quite a wide field of significance on the quantization questions up-to-date using the relevant group-theoretical approach throughout. While one appendix takes care of the quantum Lorentz Group, the other one is devoted to technical parts that are proved using certain graphical methods.
