چکیده
We construct spaces of 1-dimensional supersymmetric Euclidean field theories and show that they represent real or complex K-theory. This is done without prescribing the space states in definition theory.

متن کاملSupersymmetric Field Theories and Cohomology
This is the Ph.D. dissertation of the author. The project has been motivated by the conjecture that the Hopkins-Miller tmf spectrum can be described in terms of ‘spaces’ of conformal field theories. In this dissertation, spaces of field theories are constructed as classifying spaces of categories whose objects are certain types of field theories. If such a category has a symmetric monoidal stru...
متن کاملApplication of Tomita-Takesaki theory in algebraic euclidean field theories
The construction of the known interacting quantum field theory models is mostly based on euclidean techniques. The expectation values of interesting quantities are usually given in terms of euclidean correlation functions from which one should be able to extract information about the behavior of the correlation functions of the Minkowskian counterpart. We think that the C*-algebraic approach to...
متن کاملDualities in Supersymmetric Field Theories
These lectures briefly introduce dualities in four-dimensional quantum field theory, and summarize results found in supersymmetric field theories. The first lecture describes physical aspects of electric-magnetic (EM), strong-weak coupling (S), and infrared (IR) dualities. The second lecture focuses on results and conjectures concerning S-duality in N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories. The third ...
متن کاملSupersymmetric, Integrable Boundary Field Theories
Quantum integrable models that possess N = 2 supersymmetry are investigated on the half-space. Conformal perturbation theory is used to identify some N = 2 supersymmetric boundary integrable models, and the effective boundary Landau-Ginzburg actions are constructed. It is found that N = 2 supersymmetry largely determines the boundary action in terms of the bulk, and in particular, the boundary ...
