abstract
We revisit the construction of self-dual field theory in 4l+2 dimensions using Chern-Simons theory in 4l+3 dimensions, building on the work of Witten. Careful quantization of the Chern-Simons theory reveals all the topological subtleties associated with the self-dual partition function, including the generalization of the choice of spin structure needed to define the theory. We write the partition function for arbitrary torsion background charge, and in the presence of sources. We show how this approach leads to the formulation of an action principle for the self-dual field.

Establishes a one-to-one correspondence between states and p-dimensional defects in higher-form Maxwell theories via an extended Kac-Moody algebra generated by conserved charges from mixed anomalies, mapping dressed Wilson-'t Hooft defects to squeezed energy eigenstates.
Ensemble averaging in holography is reframed as averaging over topological completions of a relative theory via SymTFT boundary conditions, reproducing known moments in Marolf-Maxfield and Narain models.
