String Holonomy and Extrinsic Geometry in Four-dimensional Topological Gauge Theory
The most general gauge-invariant marginal deformation of four-dimensional abelian BF -type topological field theory is studied. It is shown that the deformed quantum field theory is topological and that its observables compute, in addition to the usual linking numbers, smooth intersection indices of immersed surfaces which are related to the Euler and Chern characteristic classes of their norma...
متن کاملDEVELOPMENT IN STRING THEORY
The string theory is a fast moving subject, both physics wise and in the respect of mathematics. In order to keep up with the discipline it is important to move with new ideas which are being stressed. Here I wish to give extracts from new papers of ideas which I have recently found interesting. There are six papers which are involved: I ."Strings formulated directly in 4 dimensions " A. N...

متن کامل(Bosonic)Mass Meets (Extrinsic)Curvature
In this paper we discuss the mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking from the point view of vacuum pairs, considered as ground states of a Yang-MillsHiggs gauge theory. We treat a vacuum as a section in an appropriate bundle that is naturally associated with a minimum of a (general) Higgs potential. Such a vacuum spontaneously breaks the underlying gauge symmetry if the invariance group of t...
متن کاملSurvey of the Tachyonic Lump in Bosonic String Field Theory
We study some properties of the tachyonic lumps in the level truncation scheme of bosonic cubic string field theory. We find that several gauges work well and that the size of the lump as well as its tension is approximately independent of these gauge choices at level (2,4). We also examine the fluctuation spectrum around the lump solution, and find that a tachyon with α′m2 = −0.96 and some mas...
