Schwinger-Dyson functional in Chern-Simons theory

Abstract

In perturbative SU(N) Chern-Simons gauge theory, it is shown that the Schwinger-Dyson equations assume a quite simplified form. The generating functional of the correlation functions of the curvature is considered; it is demonstrated that the renormalized Schwinger-Dyson functional is related with the generating functional of the correlation functions of the gauge connections by some kind of duality transformation.
