Quantized Topological 2-form Gravity
We develop a perturbation theory of four-dimensional topological 2form gravity without cosmological constant. A 2-form and an SU(2) connection 1-form are used as fundamental variables instead of metric. There is no quantum correction from two-loop and higher orders in covariant gauge, in Landau gauge and in background covariant gauge. We improve naive dimensional regularization and calculate an...
متن کاملModuli Space of Topological 2-form Gravity
We propose a topological version of four-dimensional (Euclidean) Einstein gravity, in which anti-self-dual 2-forms and an SU(2) connection are used as fundamental fields. The theory describes the moduli space of conformally self-dual Einstein manifolds. In the presence of a cosmological constant, we evaluate the index of the elliptic complex associated with the moduli space. e-mail: [email protected]...
متن کاملTopological Zero Modes in Monte Carlo Simulations
We present an improvement of global Metropolis updating steps, the instanton hits, used in a hybrid Monte Carlo simulation of the two-flavor Schwinger model with staggered fermions. These hits are designed to change the topological sector of the gauge field. In order to match these hits to an unquenched simulation with pseudofermions, the approximate zero mode structure of the lattice Dirac ope...
متن کاملTopological Superfluid and Majorana Zero Modes in Synthetic Dimension
Recently it has been shown that multicomponent spin-orbit-coupled fermions in one-dimensional optical lattices can be viewed as spinless fermions moving in two-dimensional synthetic lattices with synthetic magnetic flux. The quantum Hall edge states in these systems have been observed in recent experiments. In this paper we study the effect of an attractive Hubbard interaction. Since the Hubbar...
متن کاملTopological Majorana and Dirac zero modes in superconducting vortex cores.
We provide an argument based on flux insertion to show that certain superconductors with a nontrivial topological invariant have protected zero modes in their vortex cores. This argument has the flavor of a two-dimensional index theorem and applies to disordered systems as well. It also provides a new way of understanding the zero modes in the vortex cores of a spinless px+ipy superconductor. A...
