Abelian and non-Abelian branes in WZW models and gerbes
We discuss how gerbes may be used to set up a consistent Lagrangian approach to the WZW models with boundary. The approach permits to study in detail possible boundary conditions that restrict the values of the fields on the worldsheet boundary to brane submanifolds in the target group. Such submanifolds are equipped with an additional geometric structure that is summarized in the notion of a g...
متن کاملGerbes and Abelian Motives
Assuming the Hodge conjecture for abelian varieties of CM-type, one obtains a good category of abelian motives over Fal p and a reduction functor to it from the category of CM-motives over Qal. Consequently, one obtains a morphism of gerbes of fibre functors with certain properties. We prove unconditionally that there exists a morphism of gerbes with these properties, and we classify them.
متن کاملEquivariant Holonomy for Bundles and Abelian Gerbes
This paper generalizes Bismut’s equivariant Chern character to the setting of abelian gerbes. In particular, associated to an abelian gerbe with connection, an equivariantly closed differential form is constructed on the space of maps of a torus into the manifold. These constructions are made explicit using a new local version of the higher Hochschild complex, resulting in differential forms gi...
متن کاملHolonomy and parallel transport for Abelian gerbes
In this paper we establish a one-to-one correspondence between S1-gerbes with connections, on the one hand, and their holonomies, for simply connected manifolds, or their parallel transports, in the general case, on the other hand. This result is a higher-order analogue of the familiar equivalence between bundles with connections and their holonomies for connected manifolds. The holonomy of a g...
متن کاملTopological Quantum Field Theory on Non-Abelian Gerbes
The infinitesimal symmetries of a fully decomposed non-Abelian gerbe can be generated in terms of a nilpotent BRST operator, which is here constructed. The appearing fields find a natural interpretation in terms of the universal gerbe, a generalisation of the universal bundle. We comment on the construction of observables in the arising Topological Quantum Field Theory. It is also shown how the...
