Self-duality greatly reduces the mathematical difficulties of a
theory but it is also a notion of considerable physical
significance. The new class of self-dual Chern-Simons theories
discussed in detail in this book arise in the context of anyonic
quantum field theory and have applications to models such as the
quantum Hall effect, anyonic superconductivity, and Aharonov-Bohm
scattering. There are also interesting connections with the theory
of integrable models. The author presents the abelian and
non-abelian models for relativistic and non-relativistic
realizations of the self-dual Chern-Simons theories and finishes
with some applications in quantum physics. The book is written for
advanced students and researchers in mathematical, particle, and
condensed matter physics.
