String Theory, Chern-Simons Theory and the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect

In this thesis we explore two interesting relationships between string theory and quantum field theory. Firstly, we develop an equivalence between two Hilbert spaces: (i) the space of states of U(1)n Chern-Simons theory with a certain class of tridiagonal matrices of coupling constants (with corners...
