Topological Quantum Field Theory from the Viewpoint of Cellular Graphs
The edge-contraction axioms are introduced for topological recursion of multilinear maps that arise from cellular graphs, and it is proven that these axioms are equivalent to topological quantum field theories over a Frobenius algebra, assuming the consistency of the axioms. As an example, the concrete formulas of topological quantum field theories on the finite-dimensional abelian group algebr...
متن کاملTopological Quantum Field Theory
A twisted version of four dimensional supersymmetric gauge theory is formulated. The model, which refines a nonrelativistic treatment by Atiyah, appears to underlie many recent developments in topology of low dimensional manifolds; the Donaldson polynomial invariants of four manifolds and the Floer groups of three manifolds appear naturally. The model may also be interesting from a physical vie...
متن کاملPerturbative Topological Field Theory
We give a review of the application of perturbative techniques to topologi-cal quantum eld theories, in particular three-dimensional Chern-Simons-Witten theory and its various generalizations. To this end we give an introduction to graph homology and homotopy algebras and the work of Vassiliev and Kontsevich on perturbative knot invariants.
متن کاملTopological Field Theory
T-Duality on a timelike circle does not interchange IIA and IIB string theories, but takes the IIA theory to a type IIB * theory and the IIB theory to a type IIA * theory. The type II * theories admit E-branes, which are the images of the type II D-branes under timelike T-duality and correspond to imposing Dirichlet boundary conditions in time as well as some of the spatial directions. The effe...
متن کاملTopological Quantum Field Theory : a Progress Report
A brief introduction to Topological Quantum Field Theory as well as a description of recent progress made in the field is presented. I concentrate mainly on the connection between Chern-Simons gauge theory and Vassiliev invariants, and Donaldson theory and its generalizations and Seiberg-Witten invariants. Emphasis is made on the usefulness of these relations to obtain explicit expressions for ...
