Phys. Rev. D 69, 047702 (2004) [4 pages]Note on self-duality and the Kodama stateReceived 18 November 2003; published 27 February 2004 An interesting interplay between self-duality, the Kodama (Chern-Simons) state and knot invariants is shown to emerge in the quantum theory of an Abelian gauge theory. More precisely, when a self-dual representation of the CCR is chosen, the corresponding vacuum in the Schrödinger representation is precisely given by the Kodama state. Several consequences of this construction are explored. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
