Harrison Homology, Hochschild Homology and Triples*l
We consider the following situation: a field k, a commutative k-algebra R and a left R-module M. Since R is commutative, M may also be considered as an R-R bimodule with the same operation on each side (such modules are often termed symmetric). With these assumptions we have the Harrison (co-) homology groups Harr,(R, M) (Harr*(R, M)), the Hochschild (co-) homology groups Hoch, (R, M) (Hoch*(R,...
متن کاملTopological Conformal Field Theories and Gauge Theories
This paper gives a construction, using heat kernels, of differential forms on the moduli space of metrised ribbon graphs, or equivalently on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces with boundary. The construction depends on a manifold with a bundle of Frobenius algebras, satisfying various conditions. These forms satisfy gluing conditions which mean they form an open topological conformal field th...
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 ...
متن کاملTopological Quantum Field Theories
We intruduce a new invariant for σ models (and foliations more generally) using the even pairing between K-homology and cyclic homology. We try to calculate it for the simplest case of foliations, namely principal bundles. We end up by discussing some possible physical applications primarily in Quantum Gravity and M-Theory. PACS classification: 11.10.-z; 11.15.-q; 11.30.-Ly
متن کاملTopological Quantum Field Theories
Following my plenary lecture on ICMP2000 I review my results concerning two closely related topics: topological quantum field theories and the problem of quantization of gauge theories. I start with old results (first examples of topological quantum field theories were constructed in my papers in late seventies) and I come to some new results, that were not published yet.
