Types of quantum field thories
The type of field theory called holomorphic Chern-Simons theory is a variant of Chern-Simons theory where instead of Lie algebra valued differential forms on a real odd-dimensional manifold the fields are holomorphic differential forms with values in a Lie algebra on a complex odd-dimensional complex manifold, the action functional otherwise having roughly the same structure as for standard Chern-Simons theory.
See e.g. (Khesin-Wendt 08, section III 3.3)
Holomorphic CS may be understood in terms of a nonabelian version of the beta-gamma system (Costello 07, section 5.3, Gwilliam, section 6.1.3).
