Topological Gravity as Large N Topological Gauge Theory
We consider topological closed string theories on Calabi-Yau manifolds which compute superpotential terms in the corresponding compactified type II effective action. In particular, near certain singularities we compare the partition function of this topological theory (the Kodaira-Spencer theory) to SU(∞) Chern-Simons theory on the vanishing 3-cycle. We find agreement between these theories, wh...

متن کاملQuantum Gravity as Topological Quantum Field Theory
The physics of quantum gravity is discussed within the framework of topological quantum field theory. Some of the principles are illustrated with examples taken from theories in which space-time is three dimensional.
متن کاملTopological Gauge Theory and Twistors
By use of harmonic superfields, Witten’s topological gauge theory is written as a field theory on a supertwistor space. Further, using the realisation of complex compactified Minkowski space as a quadric in CP , we show that the theory has a simple formulation in terms of analytic superfields on super-CP 5 ×CP . This research was supported in part by the U.S. Department of Energy
متن کاملConstrained Topological Gravity from Twisted N = 2 Liouville Theory
In this paper we show that there exists a new class of topological field theories, whose correlators are intersection numbers of cohomology classes in a constrained moduli space. Our specific example is a formulation of 2D topological gravity. The constrained modulispace is the Poincaré dual of the top Chern-class of the bundle Ehol −→ Mg, whose sections are the holomorphic differentials. Its c...
