We study a relation between topological quantum field theory and the Kodama (Chern-Simons) state. It is shown that the Kodama (Chern-Simons) state describes a topological state with unbroken diffeomorphism invariance in Yang-Mills theory and Einstein's general relativity in four dimensions. We give a clear explanation of "why" such a topological state exists.

  1. Canonical description of Pontryagin and Euler classes with a Barbero-Immirzi parameter

    gr-qc 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    A complete canonical formulation is given for Pontryagin and Euler classes with the Barbero-Immirzi parameter, recovering the self-dual case at imaginary values and coupling the invariants to the Holst action.

  2. Particles, Forces and the Early Universe

    hep-ph 2025-07 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    The paper asserts a unified scenario of preon supersymmetry, no-boundary cosmology, and Chern-Simons gravity without providing new derivations or quantitative predictions.
