Representation theory of Chern-Simons observables
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: Recently we suggested a new quantum algebra, the moduli algebra, which was conjectured to be a quantum algebra of observables of the Hamiltonian Chern Simons theory. This algebra provides the quantization of the algebra of functions on the moduli space of flat connections on a 2-dimensional surface. In this paper we classify unitary representations of this new algebra and identify the corresponding representation spaces with the spaces of conformal blocks of the WZW model. The mapping class group of the surface is proved to act on the moduli algebra by inner automorphisms. The generators of these automorphisms are unitary elements of the moduli algebra. They are constructed explicitly and proved to satisfy the relations of the (unique) central extension of the mapping class group.
Combinatorial or operator approach to quantization of the Chern-Simons theory is understood here as quantization of the algebra of functions on the moduli space of flat connections on a Riemann surface. Surfaces of any genus and arbitrary number of marked points are treated and all unitary representations of their moduli algebras are classified. Explicit formulae for the generators of the mapping class group action are derived and all these results are in agreement with those obtained in conformal field theory and geometric quantization framework.
