Summary: This study examines the dual theory of the four-dimensional Chern-Simons theory under Nahm pole-type boundary conditions, revealing a novel 3d W-algebra symmetry in the context of a three-dimensional Toda theory analogue. Additionally, the research suggests a duality between the three-dimensional Toda theory and a two-dimensional topological sigma model with A-branes on the moduli space of solutions to the Bogomolny equations. Furthermore, it demonstrates that the modules of the 3d W-algebra are modules for the quantized algebra of certain holomorphic functions on the Bogomolny moduli space.

Summary: Witten's open string field theory (SFT) shares a close formal similarity with Chern-Simons theory in three dimensions, with concepts of forms, exterior derivative, wedge product, and manifold integration. In SFT, the introduced interior product is specified by a two-component tangent vector lowering the ghost number, while the Lie derivative is defined as the anti-commutator of the interior product and BRST operator. Both operations respect the KBc algebra in SFT.

Summary: We introduce a general framework for realizing edge modes as dynamical reference frames in gauge field theory, providing an explicit interpretation. By isolating the subsector of the global theory compatible with gauge-invariant boundary conditions for dynamics in a bounded region, we establish consistent variational principles and boundary actions. The resulting dynamics for the subregion manifest as edge modes, which are influenced by boundary symmetries.

Summary: This paper investigates the relation between the parity-odd and parity-even parts of correlation functions in theories with conserved or weakly broken higher spin symmetries, as well as their connection to the parity-even part computed from free theories. The well-known link between CFT correlation functions and de-Sitter amplitudes in one higher dimension implies a connection between parity-even and parity-odd amplitudes calculated using non-minimal interactions.

Summary: This work presents momentum space Ward identities related to broken higher spin symmetry as an alternate approach to compute correlators of spinning operators in interacting theories. The authors use higher spin equations to obtain parity even and parity odd contributions to correlators involving spinning and scalar operators in a general kinematic regime, and match their results with existing literature when available. The interesting fact that higher spin equations can be used away from the conformal fixed point is illustrated by considering mass deformed free boson theory and solving for two-point functions of spinning operators using higher spin equations.

Summary: We investigate the internally abelianized versions of gravitational theories and their possible interaction terms. In models of 2+1 and 3+1 dimensions, we find that some actions are inconsistent with their abelianized versions while others are consistent. This suggests a potential approach to quantizing Euclidean general relativity.

Summary: In this work, a new method is proposed to construct diverse non-relativistic Chern-Simons supergravity theories in three-dimensional spacetime using Lie algebra expansion method. Two different families of non-relativistic superalgebras are obtained, allowing for systematic generation of known and new supergravity models. The extended Bargmann supergravity and its Maxwellian generalization are shown to be special cases of a generalized extended Bargmann supergravity theory, and the generalized extended Bargmann and generalized extended Newton-Hooke supergravity families are demonstrated to be related through a contraction process.

Summary: In this paper, novel and known non-relativistic and ultra-relativistic spin-3 algebras are presented using the Lie algebra expansion method. Different semigroups are applied to extend the spin-3 algebra of the AdS algebra, leading to spin-3 extensions of known non-relativistic and ultra-relativistic algebras. A generalized procedure is then introduced, considering an infinite-dimensional semigroup, resulting in a spin-3 extension of two new infinite families of the Newton-Hooke type and AdS Carroll type. In addition, the construction of gravity theories based on these algebras is also presented, along with the derivation of invariant bilinear forms using the expansion method.

Summary: The study shows that certain CFTs with a global U(1) symmetry become superfluids when coupled to a chemical potential, controlled by a Goldstone effective field theory. In 3d, the EFT contains a single parity-violating 1-derivative term with quantized coefficient, leading to vortices on the sphere in the superfluid ground state and a richer spectrum of large charge operators compared to parity-invariant CFTs. These predictions were tested in a weakly coupled Chern-Simons matter theory.

Summary: By analyzing SU(2) Chern-Simons theories at large baryon number on T-2 x Double-struck capital R at the IR fixed-point, we discovered a homogeneous but anisotropic ground state configuration. This suggests that the theory does not reduce to the singlet sector of the O(4) Wilson-Fisher fixed-point at large-k. This paper marks a primitive step towards quantitative analysis of Chern-Simons-matter dualities using the large charge expansion.

Summary: We present a method of contraction that can be used to reconstruct the recent extended non-relativistic and ultra-relativistic algebras and their corresponding action principles. The method involves utilizing multiple copies of the Poincare algebra. As a result, the contraction defines the non-relativistic or ultra-relativistic limits of multimetric theories of gravity. Specifically, we demonstrate that the non-relativistic scaling limit of bi-metric gravity corresponds to the recent formulation of an action principle for Newtonian gravity with a constant background mass density.

Summary: This study explores the general relationship between Narain rational conformal field theories (RCFTs), associated 3D Chern-Simons (CS) theories, and quantum stabilizer codes. By starting from an abelian CS theory with a fusion group comprising n even-order factors, we map a boundary RCFT to an n-qubit quantum code. When the relevant 't Hooft anomalies vanish, we can orbifold our RCFTs and describe the gauging process at the code level. During this process, we provide CFT interpretations of the code subspace and the Hilbert space of qubits while mapping error operations to CFT defect fields.

Summary: In three-dimensional gravity, there are two layers of dualities between diffeomorphisms and a notion of dual diffeomorphisms, as well as between first order curvature and torsion. These dualities are elegantly revealed when studying the Mielke-Baekler Lagrangian. Within each sector of the torsion/curvature duality, there exists a well-defined notion of dual diffeomorphism, forming a centerless double Virasoro algebra along with the usual diffeomorphisms.

Summary: The paper introduces the concept of topological pseudo entropy and examines its applications in Chern-Simons gauge theory. It demonstrates the equivalence between topological pseudo entropy and interface entropy, and also finds that the topological interface entropy for rational CFTs has a contribution identical to the topological entanglement entropy on a torus.

Summary: In this study, WZW models living on a moduli space parameterized by current-current deformations were explored, revealing the ensemble of conformal field theories and their impact on conserved currents and central charge. The average partition function was calculated and interpreted as a sum over 3-manifolds, suggesting a holographic dual for the ensemble-averaged theory. At a perturbative level, the bulk theory was identified as U(1)(2N) Chern-Simons theory coupled to additional matter fields, with a key mathematical result being the Siegel-Weil formula for the characters of an affine Lie algebra.
