Chern-Simons Theory and Topological Strings
We review the relation between Chern-Simons gauge theory and topological string theory on noncompact Calabi-Yau spaces. This relation has made possible to give an exact solution of topological string theory on these spaces to all orders in the string coupling constant. We focus on the construction of this solution, which is encoded in the topological vertex, and we emphasize the implications of...
متن کاملChern-Simons-Matter Theory and Mirror Symmetry
In this paper we study supersymmetric Chern-Simons-matter (CSM) theories with several Higgs branches. Two such theories at small Chern-Simons level are conjectured to describe the superconformal field theory at the infrared fixed point of N = 4 QED with Nf = 2, 3. In particular, the mirror symmetry which exchanges the Coulomb and Higgs branches of N = 4 QED with Nf = 2 is manifest in the Chern-...
متن کاملTopology of non-topological Chern-Simons vortices
The quantized magnetic flux Φ = −4πN(sign κ), N = 0,±1, . . . of nontopological vortices in the non-relativistic Chern-Simons theory is related to the topological degree of the S → S mapping defined by lifting the problem to the Riemann spheres. Regular solutions with finite degree only arise for rational functions, whose topological degree, N , is the commun number of their zeros and poles on ...
متن کاملNumerical detection of symmetry enriched topological phases with space group symmetry
Topologically ordered phases of matter, in particular so-called symmetry enriched topological (SET) phases, can exhibit quantum number fractionalization in the presence of global symmetry. In Z2 topologically ordered states in two dimensions, fundamental translations Tx and Ty acting on anyons can either commute or anticommute. This property, crystal momentum fractionalization, can be seen in a...
متن کاملTranslational Symmetry and Microscopic Constraints on Symmetry-Enriched Topological Phases: A View from the Surface
The Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem and its higher-dimensional generalizations by Oshikawa and Hastings require that translationally invariant 2D spin systems with a half-integer spin per unit cell must either have a continuum of low energy excitations, spontaneously break some symmetries, or exhibit topological order with anyonic excitations. We establish a connection between these constraints and...
