| Popis: | We demonstrate that a non-Abelian Chern-Simons field theory can be mapped from three-dimensional Euclidean space onto the surface of a sphere in four dimensions using a stereographic projection. The theory is manifestly invariant under a rotation on the four-dimensional hypersphere. An explicit one-loop calculation shows that the curvature of the hypersphere induces a conformal anomaly. |
