We work out nite-dimensional integral formulae for the scalar product of genus one states of the group G Chern-Simons theory with insertions of Wilson lines. Assuming convergence of the integrals, we show that unitarity of the elliptic KnizhnikZamolodchikov-Bernard connection with respect to the scalar product of CS states is closely related to the Bethe Ansatz for the commuting Hamiltonians building up the connection and quantizing the quadratic Hamiltonians of the elliptic Hitchin system.

Abstract

1 IntroductionThe present paper continues the program 17] 10] 19] 20] aimed at analysis of the scalar product of states in the Chern-Simons (CS) theory. It extends the considerations of ref. 9] were we treated the SU (2) CS theory on the elliptic curve (times the time-line and with insertions of time-like Wilson lines) to the case of a general group G. As in the previous papers of the series, the point is to express the formal scalar product of the CS theory, given by a functional integral over gauge elds, as a multiple nite-dimensional integral. The latter, if convergent for every state, provides the space of CS states W with a Hilbert space structure and the holomorphic vector bundle W, obtained by varying the modulus of the elliptic curve and the positions zn of insertions, with a hermitian structure. The integral expressions for the scalar product of the CS states are close cousins of the contour integral expressions for the conformal blocks of the corresponding WZW conformal theory. In the elliptic case, the contour integral representations were recently studied in ref. 12]. Our approach elucidates the origin of the complicated expressions which appear in such representations for a general group: they are induced by a simple trick, already used in 10], which handles a change of variables in the functional integral. 1

We work out finite-dimensional integral formulae for the scalar product of genus one states of the group G Chern-Simons theory with insertions of Wilson lines. Assuming convergence of the integrals, we show that unitarity of the elliptic KnizhnikZamolodchi

The WZW conformal blocks are holomorphic sections of the bundle W of the CS state spaces satisfying in the elliptic case the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov-Bernard (KZB) equations 23, 3] (@+ 1 H0 )= 0; (@zn+ 1 Hn )= 0; n= 1;:::; N: (1) Above, Hn Hn (; z) are operators acting on the CS states and is a coupling constant. The KZB equations may be interpreted as the horizontality equations for a K

ZB connection in bundle W . The consistency of the equations (the atness of the KZB connection) requires that the operators Hn; n 0, commute for xed (; z). In fact, Hn; n 1; are quantum versions of the quadratic classical Hamiltonians hn of the elliptic Hitchin system which Poisson-commute. In the case of elliptic curve with no insertions the conformal blocks coincide with the (linear combinations of) characters of the integrable representations of the a ne algebras. H0 in eq. (1) is then proportional to the Laplacian on the Cartan algebra and the KZB equations reduce to the well known heat equation for the elliptic theta functions. In the case of elliptic curve with one insertion, H0( ) becomes a version of the Calogero-Sutherland Hamiltonian 6]. For many insertions, operators Hn (; z); n 1, are elliptic versions of the Gaudin Hamiltonians 15]. A hermitian structure on a holomorphic vector bundle induces a unique unitary connection of the 1,0 type. One expects 18] that the scalar product of the CS states induces this way the KZB connection. For the elliptic case with no insertions, that was shown implicitly in 21] where it was proven that the a ne characters form an orthonormal basis of the space of CS states. For group SU (2) in the elliptic case with one insertion the unitarity of the KZB connection w.r.t. the scalar product of the CS states was proven in 9]. In the present paper we study this problem for the general elliptic situation. We show that, assuming convergence of the integrals giving the scalar product, the unitarity of the elliptic KZB connection follows from a result announced in 12] which provides a basis for the Bethe-Ansatz diagonalization of the commuting operators Hn (; z); n 0. The relation of the integral representations for the genus zero conformal blocks of the WZW theory to the Bethe Ansatz was observed in 1], see also 2, 26, 11]. The elliptic SU (2) case counterparts of these relations go back to XIXth century works of Hermite on the Lame operator, as noticed in 6]. Recently, the integral representations for the elliptic conformal blocks were used in 12] to obtain the Bethe-Ansatz treatment of the elliptic CalogeroSutherland model, an open problem till then. Our work exhibits an intrinsic connection between the Bethe-Ansatz and the unitarity of the KZB connection. The paper is organized as follows. In Sect. 2, we describe brie y the space of CS states in the holomorphic quantization and identify the states on the elliptic curve as vectorvalued theta-functions. Sect. 3 is devoted to the scalar product of the elliptic CS states. As realized in 21] for the case with no insertions, the formal functional integral over the gauge elds giving the scalar product may be computed as an iterative Gaussian integral. The insertions for general group G are handled by combining the methods of refs. 21, 10]. In Sect. 4, we describe the KZB connection and recall its relations to the Hitchin integrable systems. Sect. 5 discusses the

unitarity of the KZB connection and nally, in Sect. 6, we consider the relations to the Bethe Ansatz. 2

2 Elliptic CS statesLet us recall the description of the CS states on the elliptic curve T= C=(Z+ Z) with insertion points zn, given in 8, 9], with due modi cations required by the replacement of the group SU (2) by G. For simplicity, we assume G to be simple, connected and simply connected and will denote by g its Lie algebra. Let A denote the (complex) vector space of the 0; 1-components A Az dz of the g-valued gauge elds. The group G of complex gauge transformations g: T ! GC acts on A by

A 7! gA= gAg?1+ g@g?1;

(2)

with@= dz@z . The Chern-Simons states are holomorphic functionals on A. For the case with insertions of time-like Wilson lines, they take values in the tensor product n V n V of the irreducible representation spaces of G of highest weights n, associated to the insertions. States verify the chiral Ward identity (gA)= ekS (g?;A) n g (zn) n (A)1 ( )

(3)

where S (g; A) is the action of the Wess-Zumino-Witten model coupled to A, see 8], and the subsubscript (n) indicates that the group element acts in the factor V n of the tensor product space V . Restricting functionals to connections Au= udz= 2 for u in the Cartan algebra hC and 2 Im, we can assign to every state a holomorphic map: hC ! V related to by the equation (Au )= e kjuj=(22 2

We shall denote the space of maps (u) satisfying the above conditions by W;z; . Conditions (5,a) and (5,b) mean that is a vector of theta-functions which due to condition (5,c) take values in the zero weight subspace V 0 V and which by condition (5,d) are Weyl group covariant. Equations (6) specify their regularity on the hyperplanes hu; i 2 Z+ Z where 2 h are roots of the algebra g. They have been obtained for G= SU (2) in 8] and for general G in 7], see also 14]. They follow by demanding the regularity at t= 0 of the maps t 7! (hmsAu0;t )= (gmsAu+tp_ ) where t 7! Au0;t= (u0+ tp_+ e ) dz, with u0= u? (m+ s)p_, is a 1-parameter holomorphic family of gauge elds, hms (z )= exp ((m+ s)z? (m+ s)z )p_] is a multivalued gauge transformation and gms (z )= hms (z ) exp?t?1 e] h?1 (z ) is a univalued ms one. Since hu0; i= 0, Au0+tp_ may be gauge transformed to Au0;t for t 6= 0 by a

constant gauge transformation exp t?1 e]). Gauge elds hmsAu0;0 lie on codimension one strata in the space of gauge elds which cannot be attained by gauge transforming Au 's. Conditions (6) assure the global regularity of but, due to the properties (5,a,b), they are not independent for di erent m and s. For example, for all simple groups di erent from SU (2) or SO(2r+1) it is enough to take m= s= 0.2 2

We shall perform the above functional integration reducing the scalar product expression to a nite-dimensional integral which, if nite, will provide W;z; with a natural structure of a Hilbert space. The niteness has been proven in the special cases (general G with no insertions 21] or SU (2) with one insertion 9]) and has been conjectured to hold in general 18]. The strategy for the calculation of the integral (7) will be as in 21] and 9] so we shall be brief discussing in detail only the treatment of the insertions essentially borrowed from 10].3.1 Change of variables

We shall reparametrize the gauge elds in the functional integral (7) as A= g? Au (8) with g a complex gauge transformation and u in some fundamental domain of the action of translations u 7! u+ q _, u 7! u+ q _ on hC . ( hC=(Q_+ Q_ )=Weyl group is the space of gauge orbits of semistable gauge elds; ignoring the Weyl group action produces an overall factor in the scalar product equal to the order of the Weyl group.)

blocks of the WZW theory satisfy the (Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov) equations r= 0. In fact, the WZW conformal blocks are horizontal sections of a (generally proper) subbundle 0 W 0 XN V G. The bers Wz0 of W 0 may be identi ed by the assignment ! (0) with the genus zero CS state spaces. The subbundle W 0 may be described by giving explicit algebraic conditions, depending holomorphically on z, on the invariant tensors in V G 0 29, 16]. The KZ connection r preserves the subbundles XN V G and W 0 of the trivial 0 bundle XN V . The extension of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov connection to the genus one case was rst obtained in ref. 3] and elaborated further in 8, 6, 14, 12]. We shall use the description of the genus one CS states by the theta functions (u)= (u) (u). The spaces W;z of states form a holomorphic bundle over the space of pairs (; z) with no coincidences in zn 's viewed as points in T . The holomorphic sections of W correspond to holomorphic families (; z) ! (; z; ). The KZB connection is given by the formulae

The operators Hn; n 0; acting, say, on meromorphic functions of u 2 hC with values in V 0 commute, see 14]. Their commutation forms part of the conditions assuring the atness of the KZB connection (36). Although the coe cient functions in Hn have poles on the hyperplanes hu; i 2 Z+ Z the, connection maps holomorphic families of genus one CS states into families with the same property, due to the increased regularity (6) of the CS states on the singular hyperplanes, see 8, 14]. 0 The commuting operators Hn for genus zero or Hn at genus one are quantizations of classical Poisson-commuting Hamiltonians of the, respectively, genus zero and genus one Hitchin integrable systems 22, 4, 24, 5]. Let us brie y recall this relation. Given a Riemann surface and a group G, let A denote the corresponding space of 0; 1-gauge elds and G the group of complex gauge transformations, as in the beginning of Sect. 2. Both are (in ni

te dimensional) complex manifolds and we shall work in the holomorphic category. The cotangent bundle T A is composed of pairs (A; ) where is a 1; 0 form on with values in Lie algebra gC . The action (2) of G on A lifts to the symplectic action

The symplectic form on T A descends to (the non-singular part of) Pz; turning it into a nite dimensional (complex) symplectic manifold (we shall ignore here the singularities of Pz; ). For a GC invariant homogeneous polynomial p on gC of degree dp, the assignment (A; ) 7?! p( ) de nes a map on T A with values in the space of dp -di erentials (sections of the dp-th symmetric power of the canonical bundle on ). All those vector-valued maps Poisson-commute since they depend only on .

Their components form a maximal set of classical Hamiltonians in involution turning Pz; into an integrable system introduced and analyzed in 22] for the case without insertions, see 24, 5] for the generalization including the insertions.

5 Unitarity of the KZB connectionOne of the essential features of the structures discussed above should be the compatibility of the KZ and K

ZB connections with the scalar product of CS states. The integrals in eq. (31) have been conjectured in 17] (and proved in many cases) to converge precisely for invariant tensors 2 Wz0 and to equip bundle W 0 with the hermitian structure preserved by the KZ connection. The latter condition means that for all local holomorphic sections z 7! (z) of bundles W 0, corresponding to holomorphic families z 7! (z) of CS states, (41) In order to see why one should expect such a relation, it will be convenient to express the scalar product integral in the language of di erential forms, following refs. 27, 28]. Let !(y) 1 y?1 dy. Introduce the V -valued K forms0 K;

which implies the relation (41). The above analysis has its counterpart for the elliptic case. We again conjecture that the integrals in eq. (26) converge for corresponding to CS states (in fact exactly when the regularity conditions (6) are ful lled) and that the resulting hermitian structure on the bundle W renders the KZB connection unitary, see 9] for the proof of this conjecture for the case of G= SU (2) and one insertion. In order to substantiate the conjecture for the case of general G and arbitrary insertions, let us rewrite the genus one scalar product integral (26) in the language of di erential forms. De ne

This holds since the terms with d di erentials do not contribute to the integral over the cycle UY;z composed of points (u; y) with identi cations u= u+ ( )q _, ys= ys+ ( )1 which form the (r+K )-dimensional torus T r+K (with coincidences of ys 's among themselves and with zn 's removed). The gain from adding the terms with d 's is that the form transforms under the maps u 7! u+ ( )q _, ys 7! ys+ ( )1 (and zn 7! zn+ ( )1) exactly as the functions H, see eq. (30), and, as the result, the form under the last integral in eq. (45) is well de ned on UY;z . We would like to compute the holomorphic di erential of the norms squared k k2 of a holomorphic family of states. Due to the fact that the integration cycles UY;z depend nontrivially on the di erentiation variables, this requires a more subtle consideration than in the genus zero case where we could ignore this problem (assuming enough convergence at the coinciding points). Ignoring again the coinciding points, the geometric setup is as follows. We are given a bundle$: N ! M of multidimensional tori over the space M of pairs (; z). Let us forget for a moment the complex structures on these spaces considering them as real manifolds. On N we are given a di erential form of degree equal to the dimension of the ber (we shall not need an obvious generalization of the story to forms of arbitrary degree) and we are studying a function f on the base obtained by ber-wise integration of

f (n)=

where the di erential d? in the transverse directions is de ned using a trivialization and the second equality follows since dk (d? d? ) is a closed form when restricted to the bers so that its ber-wise integral vanishes (again assuming no convergence problems). Let us rst see how this argument may be used in the simplest case with no insertions where we have

which proves the unitarity of the KZ connection w.r.t. the scalar product (26) modulo the control of convergence of the integrals.

6 Bethe AnsatzThe basic algebraic relations (42) responsible for the unitarity of the KZ connection turn out to be a disguised (and compact) form of the Bethe Ansatz solution of the eigenvalue problem for the Gaudin Hamiltonians (35). This was remarked in 1] in the context of contour 20
