a topological gauge theory in three dimensions whose Wilson loop expectation values give knot invariants such as the Jones polynomial.

In mathematical physics, Chern-Simons theory refers to a topological gauge theory in three dimensions whose Wilson loop expectation values give knot invariants such as the Jones polynomial. This meaning comes from Witten (1989) in Communications in Mathematical Physics.[1]
