Functorial semantics of topological theories
Following the categorical approach to universal algebra through algebraic theories, proposed by F.~W.~Lawvere in his PhD thesis, this paper aims at introducing a similar setting for general topology. The cornerstone of the new framework is the notion of emph{categorically-algebraic} (emph{catalg}) emph{topological theory}, whose models induce a category of topological structures. We introduce t...

متن کاملTopological phases near a triple degeneracy.
We study the pattern of three-state topological phases that appears in systems with real Hamiltonians and wave functions. We give a simple geometric construction for representing these phases. We then apply our results to understand previous work on three-state phases. We show that the "mirror symmetry" of wave functions noticed in microwave experiments can be simply understood in our framework.
متن کاملBalanced Topological Field Theories
We describe a class of topological field theories called “balanced topological field theories.” These theories are associated to moduli problems with vanishing virtual dimension and calculate the Euler character of various moduli spaces. We show that these theories are closely related to the geometry and equivariant cohomology of “iterated superspaces” that carry two differentials. We find the ...
