In complete analogy with the classical case, we define the Chern-Simons action functional in noncommutative geometry and study its properties under gauge transformations. As usual, the latter are related to the connectedness of the group of gauge transformations. We establish this result by making use of the coupling between cyclic cohomology and K-theory and prove, using an index theorem, that this coupling is quantized in the case of the noncommutative torus.

A note on noncommutative Chern–Simons theories
Absence of higher order corrections to noncommutative Chern-Simons coupling
We analyze the structure of non-commutative pure Chern-Simons theory systematically in the axial gauge. We show that there is no IR/UV mixing in this theory in this gauge. In fact, we show, using the…
Topology of the gauge group in noncommutative gauge theory
I argue that the gauge group of noncommutative gauge theory consists of maps into unitary operators on Hilbert space of the form $u=1+K$ with $K$ compact. Some implications of this proposal are…

A NOTE ON THE TOPOLOGICAL ORDER OF NONCOMMUTATIVE HALL FLUIDS
We evaluate the ground state degeneracy of noncommutative Chern–Simons models on the two-torus, a quantity that is interpreted as the "topological order" of associated phases of Hall fluids. We…

We consider the θ-deformed quantum 3-sphere S3 θ and study its Chern–Simons theory from a spectral point of view. We first construct a spectral triple on S3 θ as a generalization of the Dirac…

We show that the renormalized U(N) noncommutative Chern-Simons theory can be defined in perturbation theory so that there are no loop corrections to the 1PI functional of the theory in an arbitrary…
Some Properties of Non-linear $\sigma$-Models in Noncommutative Geometry
We introduce non-linear $\sigma$-models in the framework of noncommutative geometry with special emphasis on models defined on the noncommutative torus. We choose as target spaces the two point space…
