1. The class number of a number field is the cardinality of the ideal class group of the field. 2. In group theory, the class number is the number of conjugacy classes of a group. 3. Class number is the number of equivalence classes of binary quadratic forms of a given discriminant. 4. The class number problem. conductor
The use of complex analysis in number theory comes later: the work of Bernhard Riemann (1859) on the zeta function is the canonical starting point; [77] Jacobi's four-square theorem (1839), which predates it, belongs to an initially different strand that has by now taken a leading role in analytic number theory (modular forms).

The basic idea is simply that the vacuum expectation values of Wilson loops in Chern–Simons theory are link invariants because of the diffeomorphism-invariance of the theory. To calculate these expectation values, however, Witten needed to use the relation between Chern–Simons theory and a conformal field theory known as the Wess–Zumino ...

In quantum field theory, Wilson loops are gauge invariant operators arising from the parallel transport of gauge variables around closed loops.They encode all gauge information of the theory, allowing for the construction of loop representations which fully describe gauge theories in terms of these loops.
