A Gauge Theory for Shallow Water
read the original abstract
The shallow water equations describe the horizontal flow of a thin layer of fluid with varying height. We show that the equations can be rewritten as a d=2+1 dimensional gauge theory with a Chern-Simons term. The theory contains two Abelian gauge fields, corresponding to the conserved height and conserved vorticity of the fluid. In a certain linearised approximation, the shallow water equations reduce to relativistic Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory. This describes Poincar\'e waves. The chiral edge modes of the theory are identified as coastal Kelvin waves.

Surface Water Wave Scattering and the Hydrotope
The n-wave scattering amplitude for deep-water surface gravity waves in the two-negative-wavenumber sector equals the volume of the hydrotope polytope.

The Schrodinger Equation as a Gauge Theory
The Schrödinger equation is locally equivalent to a gauge theory with one-form fields in 2+1D and two-form fields in 3+1D, with BF and Chern-Simons terms organizing electromagnetic couplings, anyons, Berry phases, and...

The Schrodinger Equation as a Gauge Theory
Schrödinger equation is locally equivalent to a non-relativistic gauge theory via one-form or two-form gauge fields on the probability current, with global topology from phase winding quantization.
