Non-existence of natural states for Abelian Chern–Simons theory

Abstract: We give an elementary proof that Abelian Chern-Simons theory, described as a functor from oriented surfaces to C * -algebras, does not admit a natural state. Non-existence of natural states is thus not only a phenomenon of quantum field theories on Lorentzian manifolds, but also of topological quantum field theories formulated in the algebraic approach.

“…We conclude this paper with an application of the results proven so far inspired by [17]. In loc.cit., the quantization of Abelian Chern-Simons theory is interpreted as a functor A : Man 2 Ñ STG-Alg which assigns symplectic twisted group ˚-algebras to 3-dimensional manifolds of the form R ˆΣ, where Σ is a 2-dimensional oriented manifold.…”

However, differently from [46,47], the Green operator will not have the usual support property due to the non-local behavior of the APS boundary condition.…”
