  5. Discard the Monopole Consider solenoid as a closed string:

  6. J = cF* is a “conserved topological current” in D=3 E&M in absence of “open strings” (monopoles) This “current” does NOT come from a Noether variation of the action of D=3 E&M

  7. Turn on Chern-Simons term: Chern-Simons terms exist in any odd D.

  8. Chern-Simons term: Generates the conserved current ala Noether:

  9. Solenoid loop becomes a physical current loop when Chern-Simons term is present

  10. Go from D=3 to D=1+2 photon solenoid is now a world-line of a charged particle Must have charge e! time space Chern-Simons term coefficient is determined by demanding world-line charge is e

  11. Gauss linking of two solenoid strings: (1) (2) Chern-Simons term coefficient is determined by demanding action under linking shifts by multiple of

  12. Exchange two solenoid particles = half of a Gauss linking time space solenoid is a fermion for odd N

  13. Slice through the world-line time space instanton

  14. Compactify to D=2 on orbifold Bulk photons: Orbifold: eats on branes eats R

  15. Chern-Simons term induces anomalies on branes I II

  16. Need Fermions (or Axions) on branes to cancel the Chern-Simons anomalies Left-handed anomaly Right-handed anomaly I II

  17. Weyl fermion anomaly coefficient (D=2 loop diagram) is determined by D=3 Chern-Simons coefficient: I II Left-handed anomaly Right-handed anomaly

  18. Chern-Simons term leads to new bulk interactions that violate KK-mode parity (T-parity): Topological mass mixing of levels

  19. Summary: • Dirac Monopole has solenoid singularity • Closed loop of solenoid is a string in D=3 • Conserved topological current dA • Chern-Simons term, AdA, generates topological current • Chern-Simons term promotes solenoid to a current loop • Solenoid is a charged particle world-line in D=1+2 • Its charge determines the Chern-Simons coefficient • Particle is a fermion for odd N • Spacelike slice on D=2 yields instanton • Compactify: fermions/axions on branes cancel anomalies • Consistent anomalies on boundary branes determined • Weyl fermion consistent anomaly coefficient from D=2 loop is dictated by D=3 Chern-Simons term coefficient • Violates KK-mode parity (T-parity); locks KK-modes to definite space parity

  20. Topology at the D=4 and D=5 Interface

  21. D=5 Gauge Theories time space instanton

  22. D=5 QED: Generalized Dirac Solenoid Construction: Dirac Branes Dirac-2 brane generalization of solenoid: A “stack” of current loops in xy plane yields zwt Dirac-2 brane carrying time intersection of two Dirac-2 branes is a world-line with current space

  23. D=5 QED: Generalized Dirac Solenoid Construction: QED Chern-Simons term: world-line becomes charged: time space D=4 instanton is a “collision” of two solenoid world sheets

  24. Compute Chern-Simons Coefficient: (D-1)/2 Intersecting (D-3)-Dirac-branes in any odd D:

  26. Yang-Mills D=5 Chern-Simons term The instanton is the most important topological object in Yang-Mills field theories In D=5, the instanton becomes a stable, static, soliton Compactify to D=4 on S1, Instanton becomes the Skyrmion (Fermi statistics, Nc=3); Chern-Simons becomes WZW term.

  27. D=5 Chern-Simons term on orbifold CTH, Phys.Rev.D73:085001,2006. Consider U(1): R Chern-Simons anomalies on Branes:

  31. An aside: Anomalies are very tricky: Adler 1969 (QED): Adler’s result is 1/3 Feynman diagram and 2/3 counterterm. (“covariant anomaly”)

  32. An aside: Anomalies are very tricky: Adler 1969 (QED): Adler’s result is 1/3 Feynman diagram and 2/3 counterterm. (“covariant anomaly”) Pure LH spinor result is pure Feynman diagram, unambiguous no counterterms “consistent anomaly” Our physical set-up is a UV completion that explains the origin of the counterterm coming from Chern-Simons term CTH, Phys.Rev.D73:085001,2006.

Yang-Mills flavor in D=5 A5 zero-mode -> mesons fpi = 1/R; Wilson line mass term <-> chiral condensate Quark Chiral delocalization requires a Chern-Simons term; anomaly matching, quantization Chern-Simons term implies bulk plus holographic interactions amongst KK-modes effective D=4 interaction, Large mq limit -> Fermionic Dirac determinant modifies effective interaction; maintains gauge invariance Derivation of the full Wess-Zumino-Witten term directly from the compactified D=5 Yang-Mills flavor theory
