Chern–Simons theory is a type of topological field theory in theoretical physics and mathematics that describes certain properties of three-dimensional manifolds. It is named after mathematicians Shiing-Shen Chern and Robert S. Simon, who developed the foundational concepts related to characteristic classes in the context of differential geometry.
