Yesterday, 11:47 PM #1 PrashantGokaraju In so-called 'string field theory', the strings are described by a field theory in spacetime, rather than a CFT on the worldsheet. This field theory turns out to be chern-simons theory, which has action d α ∧ α + α ∧ α ∧ α . The propagator between two points is a correlator 〈 O O 〉 as shown in the following picture. The density operator is of the form e e Correlators of operators in the worldsheet CFT are not propagators, but amplitudes to emit particles or states from the points where the two operators are located. Since the correlator of the chern-simons operators is the propagator, whatever notion which corresponds to these operators on the worldsheet can be located only on the circular edges of the following picture. i-1 i-1 i-1 i-1 i-1 1chern-simons 2chern-simons -W[J] - β H MY PF 5/26/2020 chern-simons theory | Physics Forums https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/chern-simons-theory.989564/ 2/3 Replies 2 · Replies 1 · Replies 11 · Replies 8 · Quote Reply Report Edit LaTeX Guide | BBcode Guide Attach files Post reply Preview Related Threads on chern-simons theory A Chern Simons theory shereen1 · Sep 6, 2016 A Chern Simons theory shereen1 · Sep 17, 2016 Maxwell-Chern-Simons action Maybe_Memorie · Nov 5, 2014 Observable QG effects in Chern-Simons gravity-Stephon Alexander marcus · Nov 28, 2009 In chern-simons theory, things like e can be states rather than amplitudes. Normally states are functions on space, but this is a function of a path or history.
