Arithmetic Chern-Simons Theory II

We apply ideas of Dijkgraaf and Witten on three-dimensional topological quantum field theory to arithmetic curves, that is, the spectra of rings of integers in algebraic number fields. In the first three sections, we define classical Chern-Simons actions on spaces of Galois representations. In the s...

Resumo:We apply ideas of Dijkgraaf and Witten on three-dimensional topological quantum field theory to arithmetic curves, that is, the spectra of rings of integers in algebraic number fields. In the first three sections, we define classical Chern-Simons actions on spaces of Galois representations. In the subsequent sections, we give formulas for computation in a small class of cases and point towards some arithmetic applications.
