Abstract

Lectures at the 1998 Les Houches Summer School: Topological Aspects of Low Dimensional Systems. These lectures contain an introduction to various aspects of Chern-Simons gauge theory: (i) basics of planar field theory, (ii) canonical quantization of Chern-Simons theory, (iii) Chern-Simons vortices, and (iv) radiatively induced Chern-Simons terms.
