Abelian Duality in Topological Field Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove a topological version of abelian duality where the gauge groups are finite abelian. The theories homotopy TFTs, analogues p-form U(1) theories. Using Brown–Comenetz duality, we extend to TFTs $$\pi $$ -finite spectra.

Duality and Topological Quantum Field Theory *
We present a summary of the applications of duality to Donaldson-Witten theory and its generalizations. Special emphasis is made on the computation of Don-aldson invariants in terms of Seiberg-Witten invariants using recent results in N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theory. A brief account on the invariants obtained in the theory of non-abelian monopoles is also presented. Topological quantum field ...
متن کاملDuality in the Context of Topological Quantum Field Theory
We present a summary of the progress made in the last few years on topological quantum field theory in four dimensions. In particular, we describe the role played by duality in the developments which led to the Seiberg-Witten invariants and their relation to the Donaldson invariants. In addition, we analyze the fruitful framework that this connection has originated. This analysis involves the s...
متن کاملOn Duality of Topological Abelian Groups
Let G denote the full subcategory of topological abelian groups consisting of the groups that can be embedded algebraically and topologically into a product of locally compact abelian groups. We show that there is a full coreflective subcategory S of G that contains all locally compact groups and is *-autonomous. This means that for all G,H in S there is an “internal hom” G −◦H whose underlying...
متن کاملTopological Quantum Field Theory on Non-Abelian Gerbes
The infinitesimal symmetries of a fully decomposed non-Abelian gerbe can be generated in terms of a nilpotent BRST operator, which is here constructed. The appearing fields find a natural interpretation in terms of the universal gerbe, a generalisation of the universal bundle. We comment on the construction of observables in the arising Topological Quantum Field Theory. It is also shown how the...
متن کاملS-duality in Abelian gauge theory revisited
Definition of the partition function of U(1) gauge theory is extended to a class of fourmanifolds containing all compact spaces and the asymptotically locally flat (ALF) ones including the multi-Taub–NUT sopaces. The partition function is calculated via zetafunction regularization and heat kernel techniques with special attention to its modular properties. In the compact case, compared with the...
