This theory also makes the connection between these knots and 3-dimensional invariants and Conformal Field Theory in 2 dimensions and in particular the Wess-Zumino-Witten Model . In the context of String Theory , Chern-Simons theory on an oriented 3-manifold M arises as the String Field Theory of the A-model Topological String formulated on the Cotangent Bundle of M (The B-Model topological string field theory being a Holomorphic Chern-Simons Theory ). The information contained in Chern-Simons theory can also be captured through the use of Matrix Models . This theory is Gauge-invariant over boundary manifolds and manifolds with zero Curvature Form at their boundaries. However, this theory is gauge variant if there is no restriction on the curvature form at the boundary. This might be useful in Anomaly Inflow mechanisms. This terms is Nonlocal with respect to gauge invariant quantities. The Chern-Simons term can also be added to models which aren't topological quantum field theories. In 3D, this gives rise to a massive Photon if this term is added to the Yang-Mills Action . This term can be induced by integrating over a massive charged Dirac Field . It also appears in the Quantum Hall Effect . SEE ALSO REFERENCES
