Self-Dual Chern-Simons Theories

Focusing on self-duality, this book explores its mathematical simplifications and significant physical implications, particularly in anyonic quantum field theory. It covers self-dual Chern-Simons theories and their applications to phenomena like the quantum Hall effect and anyonic superconductivity. Additionally, it discusses connections to integrable models and presents both abelian and non-abelian models for various realizations. Aimed at advanced students and researchers, it delves into applications in quantum physics, enriching the understanding of these complex theories.
