I wish to understand the statement in this paper more precisely:
(1). Any 3d Topological quantum field theories(TQFT) associates an inner-product vector space HΣ to a Riemann surface Σ.
-
(2) In the case of abelian Chern-Simons theory HΣ is obtained by geometric quantization of the moduli space of flat TΛ-connections on Σ. The
latter space is a torus with a symplectic form
ω=14π∫ΣKIJδAI∧dδAJ.
(3) Its quantization is the space of holomorphic sections of a line bundle L whose curvature is ω. For a genus g Riemann surface Σg, it has dimension |det(K)|g.
-
(4) The
mapping class group of Σ (i.e. the quotient of the group of diffeomorphisms of Σ by its identity component) acts projectively on HΣ. The action of the mapping class group of Σg on HΣ factors through the group Sp(2g,Z).
We are talking about this abelian Chern-Simons theory:
SCS=14π∫ΣKIJAI∧dAJ.
Can some experts walk through this (1) (2) (3) (4) step-by-step for focusing on this abelian Chern-Simons theory?
partial answer of (1)~(4) is fine.
I can understand the statements, but I cannot feel comfortable to derive them myself.
