Abstract

We study Wilson line operators in three-dimensional Chern–Simons theory on a manifold with boundaries and prove to leading order, through a direct calculation of Feynman integrals, that the merging of parallel Wilson lines reproduces the coproduct on the quantum group Uħ(g)\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$U_\\hbar ({\\mathfrak {g}})$$\\end{document}.
