Canonical quantization of lattice Chern-Simons theory

Abstract We discuss the canonical quantization of U(1) k Chern-Simons theory on a spatial lattice. In addition to the usual local Gauss law constraints, the physical Hilbert space is defined by 1-form gauge constraints implementing the compactness of the U(1) gauge group, and (depending on the detai...
