Description
We formally introduce a deformation of the 4d Chern-Simons theory, whose path integral takes the canonical symplectic form required by the non-Abelian localization method. The methodology is based on the Beasley-Witten construction applied to conventional 3d Chern-Simons theory. This opens the possibility for studying integrable field theories using geometric tools.
