Poisson structure and quantization of Chern-Simons theory.
The author reviews some work on the Poisson structure and on the quantization of the moduli space of flat connections over a 2-dimensional surface. This paper can be seen as an introduction to Chern-Simons theory. Let us recall that Chern-Simons theory is a topological gauge theory defined on a 3-manifold M. When \(M=R^*S\), where S is a 2-dimensionl surface, one obtains a Poisson structure from the famous Atiyah-Bott structure on the space of connections over S. The quantization of the moduli space allows to recover several important results on Chern-Simons theory. This paper explains in details these facts. The author starts with a brief explanation of how the moduli spaces appear as phase spaces of the Hamiltonian Chern-Simons theory. Then, he analyses the moduli space in more details. The description then focuses on the combinatorial approach in which the surface S is replaced by a fat graph. The last part of the paper is devoted to the construction of the algebra of observables for the quantum Chern-Simons theory. Representations of this algebra are finally discussed.
