We derive an equivalence between the (2,0) superconformal M5-brane field theory dimensionally reduced on a squashed three-sphere, and Chern-Simons theory with complex gauge group. In the reduction, the massless fermions obtain an action which is second order in derivatives and are reinterpreted as ghosts for gauge fixing the emergent non-compact gauge symmetry. A squashing parameter in the geometry controls the imaginary part of the complex Chern-Simons level.

Mixed 't Hooft Anomalies and the Witten Effect for AdS Black Holes
Near-BPS dyonic AdS4 black holes with a theta angle show a Witten-effect charge shift that reduces the mass gap and the index, and at the special angle both the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and the supersymmetric index ...

Hamiltonian quantization of complex Chern-Simons theory at level-$k$
The physical Hilbert space of complex Chern-Simons theory on an m-holed sphere at even level carries a Fenchel-Nielsen representation in which Wilson loops along pants-decomposition cuts act as multiplication operators.
