From Topological to Parametrized Field Theory
It has been proposed to study the theory resulting from setting the gravitational constant to zero in the first order formalism for general relativity. In this letter we investigate this theory in the presence of matter fields, establish its equivalence with parametrized field theory on a flat background, and relate it to previous results in topological field theory (BF theory).

متن کاملFrom Topological Field Theory to Defor- mation Quantization and Reduction
This note describes the functional-integral quantization of two-dimensional topological field theories together with applications to problems in deformation quantization of Poisson manifolds and reduction of certain submanifolds. A brief introduction to smooth graded manifolds and to the Batalin–Vilkovisky formalism is included. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000). Primary 81T45; Secondar...
متن کاملTopological Quantum Field Theory
A twisted version of four dimensional supersymmetric gauge theory is formulated. The model, which refines a nonrelativistic treatment by Atiyah, appears to underlie many recent developments in topology of low dimensional manifolds; the Donaldson polynomial invariants of four manifolds and the Floer groups of three manifolds appear naturally. The model may also be interesting from a physical vie...
متن کاملPerturbative Topological Field Theory
We give a review of the application of perturbative techniques to topologi-cal quantum eld theories, in particular three-dimensional Chern-Simons-Witten theory and its various generalizations. To this end we give an introduction to graph homology and homotopy algebras and the work of Vassiliev and Kontsevich on perturbative knot invariants.
متن کاملTopological Field Theory
T-Duality on a timelike circle does not interchange IIA and IIB string theories, but takes the IIA theory to a type IIB * theory and the IIB theory to a type IIA * theory. The type II * theories admit E-branes, which are the images of the type II D-branes under timelike T-duality and correspond to imposing Dirichlet boundary conditions in time as well as some of the spatial directions. The effe...
