Wilson Surfaces and Higher Dimensional Knot Invariants
An observable for nonabelian, higher-dimensional forms is introduced, its properties are discussed and its expectation value in BF theory is described. This is shown to produce potential and genuine invariants of higher-dimensional knots.
متن کاملInvariants for 1-dimensional Cohomology Classes Arising from Tqft
Let (V,Z) be a Topological Quantum Field Theory over a field f defined on a cobordism category whose morphisms are oriented n+1-manifolds perhaps with extra structure (for example a p1 structure and banded link). Let (M,χ) be a closed oriented n+ 1-manifold M with this extra structure together with χ ∈ H1(M). Let M∞ denote the infinite cyclic cover of M given by χ. Consider a fundamental domain...
متن کاملSecondary Cohomology and k-invariants
For a triple (G,A, κ) (where G is a group, A is a G-module and κ : G → A is a 3-cocycle) and a G-module B we introduce a new cohomology theory 2Hn(G,A, κ;B) which we call the secondary cohomology. We give a construction that associates to a pointed topological space (X, x0) an invariant 2κ 4 ∈ 2H (π1(X), π2(X), κ; π3(X)). This construction can be seen a “3type” generalization of the classical k...
متن کاملInvariants of Higher-Dimensional Knots and Topological Quantum Field Theories
The present work can be divided into two main parts: i) the first deals with the functionalintegral quantization via BV formalism of BF theories in any dimension, and ii) the second with (isotopy-) invariants of higher-dimensional knots in Euclidean spaces. We briefly comment on the motivations and the results of part i) and ii). BF theory in 3 dimensions (with the addition of a so-called “cosm...
متن کاملBaer Invariants in Semi-abelian Categories Ii: Homology
This article treats the problem of deriving the reflector of a semi-abelian category A onto a Birkhoff subcategory B of A. Basing ourselves on Carrasco, Cegarra and Grandjeán’s homology theory for crossed modules, we establish a connection between our theory of Baer invariants with a generalization—to semi-abelian categories— of Barr and Beck’s cotriple homology theory. This results in a semi-a...
