Equivariant Verlinde formula from fivebranes and vortices
We study complex Chern-Simons theory on a Seifert manifold M3 by embedding it into string theory. We show that complex Chern-Simons theory on M3 is equivalent to a topologically twisted supersymmetric theory and its partition function can be naturally regularized by turning on a mass parameter. We find that the dimensional reduction of this theory to 2d gives the low energy dynamics of vortices...
متن کاملHopf Algebra Equivariant Cyclic Cohomology, K-theory and Index Formulas
For an algebra B with an action of a Hopf algebra H we establish the pairing between equivariant cyclic cohomology and equivariant K-theory for B. We then extend this formalism to compact quantum group actions and show that equivariant cyclic cohomology is a target space for the equivariant Chern character of equivariant summable Fredholm modules. We prove an analogue of Julg’s theorem relating...
متن کاملCharging the Superconformal Index
The superconformal index is an important invariant of superconformal field theories. In this note we refine the superconformal index by inserting the charge conjugation operator C. We construct a matrix integral for this charged index for N = 4 SYM with SU(N) gauge group. The key ingredient for the construction is a “charged character,” which reduces to Tr(C) for singlet representations of the ...
متن کاملFusion in the Extended Verlinde Algebra
The features of a usual conformal field theory were captured by the formalism of a tensor or fusion category. The notion of a Verlinde algebra which arises from a fusion category, the action of a modular group on the algebra, and the Verlinde formula gave us beautiful means to study these theories. Such they were that in [Ki] Kirillov put forth the notion of a G-equivariant fusion category so t...
متن کاملThe Verlinde Algebra and the Cohomology of the Grassmannian
The article is devoted to a quantum field theory explanation of the relationship between the Verlinde algebra of the group U(k) at level N − k and the “quantum” cohomology of the Grassmannian of complex k planes in N space. In §2, I explain the relation between the Verlinde algebra and the gauged WZW model of G/G; in §3, I describe the quantum cohomology and its origin in a quantum field theory...
