Gravitational anomalies, gerbes, and hamiltonian quantization
In ref.[1], Schwinger terms in hamiltonian quantization of chiral fermions coupled to vector potentials were computed, using some ideas from the theory of gerbes, with the help of the family index theorem for a manifold with boundary. Here, we generalize this method to include gravitational Schwinger terms.
متن کاملDeformation Quantization of Gerbes
This is the first in a series of articles devoted to deformation quantization of gerbes. We introduce basic definitions, interpret deformations of a given stack as Maurer-Cartan elements of a differential graded Lie algebra (DGLA), and classify deformations of a given gerbe in terms of Maurer-Cartan elements of the DGLA of Hochschild cochains twisted by the cohomology class of the gerbe. We als...
متن کاملBoundary Liouville Theory: Hamiltonian description and quantization
The paper is devoted to the Hamiltonian treatment of classical and quantum properties of Liouville field theory on a timelike strip in 2d Minkowski space. We give a complete description of classical solutions regular in the interior of the strip and obeying constant conformally invariant conditions on both boundaries. Depending on the values of the two boundary parameters these solutions may ha...
متن کاملGerbes, Clifford Modules and the Index Theorem
The use of bundle gerbes and bundle gerbe modules is considered as a replacement for the usual theory of Clifford modules on manifolds that fail to be spin. It is shown that both sides of the Atiyah-Singer index formula for coupled Dirac operators can be given natural interpretations using this language and that the resulting formula is still an identity.
متن کاملGauge Theory and Gerbes in String Theory
The reduction of the E8 gauge theory to ten dimensions leads to a loop group, which in relation to twisted K-theory has a Dixmier-Douady class identified with the Neveu-Schwarz H-field. We give an interpretation of the degree two part of the etaform by comparing the adiabatic limit of the eta invariant with the one loop term in type IIA. More generally, starting with a G-bundle, the comparison ...
