Bundle gerbes for Chern-Simons and Wess-Zumino-Witten theories
From MaRDI portal
(Redirected from Publication:818595)
Abstract: We develop the theory of Chern-Simons bundle 2-gerbes and multiplicative bundle gerbes associated to any principal -bundle with connection and a class in for a compact semi-simple Lie group . The Chern-Simons bundle 2-gerbe realises differential geometrically the Cheeger-Simons invariant. We apply these notions to refine the Dijkgraaf-Witten correspondence between three dimensional Chern-Simons functionals and Wess-Zumino-Witten models associated to the group . We do this by introducing a lifting to the level of bundle gerbes of the natural map from to . The notion of a multiplicative bundle gerbe accounts geometrically for the subtleties in this correspondence for non-simply connected Lie groups. The implications for Wess-Zumino-Witten models are also discussed.
