    Two-Dimensional Gauge Theory and Matrix Model

    by Goro Ishiki, Kazutoshi Ohta, Shinji Shimasaki, Asato Tsuchiya

    We study a matrix model obtained by dimensionally reducing Chern-Simon theory on S^3. We find that the matrix integration is decomposed into sectors classified by the representation of SU(2). We show that the N-block sectors reproduce SU(N) Yang-Mills theory on S^2 as the matrix size goes to infinity.

    On relationships among Chern-Simons theory, BF theory and matrix model

    by Takaaki Ishii, Goro Ishiki, Kazutoshi Ohta, Shinji Shimasaki, Asato Tsuchiya

    Chern-Simons theory on a U(1) bundle over a Riemann surface \Sigma_g of genus g is dimensionally reduced to BF theory with a mass term, which is equivalent to the two-dimensional Yang-Mills on \Sigma_g. We show that the former is inversely obtained from the latter by the extended matrix T-duality developed in hep-th/0703021. For the case of g=0 (i.e. S^2), the U(1) bundle represents the lens space S^3/Z_p. We find that in this case both the Chern-Simons theory and the BF theory with the mass term are realized in a matrix model. We also construct Wilson loops in the matrix model that correspond to those in the Chern-Simons theory on S^3.
