Title:
Higher symmetries of abelian Chern-Simons theories

Speaker:
Ryan Thorngren

Abstract:
I will discuss the BZ/k symmetry of U(1) level k Chern-Simons theory, its anomaly, and fractional Chern-Simons theories as gauged versions. I will mention how this bag of tricks can be used to understand the Halperin-Lee-Read state at filling fraction 1/2.
