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 luce chandelier defined by 1-form gauge constraints implementing the compactness of the U(1) gauge group, and (depending on the details of the spatial lattice) non-loca
