Serone:
my lectures will be quite pedagogical and in principle all the background will be provided there.
Anyhow, some familiarity with the 3 references below would certainly be useful.
1) Zinn-Justin, “Quantum Field Theory and Critical Phenomena”, 4th Edition.
Chapters 39-43, in particular chapter 42.
2) Section 3 of E. Witten, “Analytic Continuation Of Chern-Simons Theory,’’ arXiv:1001.2933 [hep-th].
