Classical theta functions from a quantum group perspective

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

In this paper we show how to model classical theta functions using the quantum group of abelian Chern-Simons theory. We describe the representation of the Heisenberg and mapping class groups in this setting.
