Donaldson–Witten Invariants and Pure 4D-QCD with Order and Disorder ’t Hooft-like Operators
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the first-order formalism of pure four-dimensional SU(2) Yang–Mills theory with theta-term. We describe the Green functions associated to electric and magnetic flux operators à la ’t Hooft by means of gauge-invariant non-local operators. These Green functions are related to Witten’s invariants of four-manifolds.

Non-Abelian Seiberg-Witten invariants is investigated with massless Topolog-ical QCD where monopole is extended to non-Abelian groups version. We found that vacuum expectation value can be separated into a part from Donaldson theory , a part from Abelian Monopole theory and a part from non-Abelian monopole theory. This is achieved by a non-standard regularization. As a result of this regulariza...

متن کاملA Categorical Construction of 4d Topological Quantum Field Theories
In recent years, it has been discovered that invariants of three dimensional topological objects, such as links and three dimensional manifolds, can be constructed from various tools of mathematical physics, such as Von Neumann algebras [1], Quantum Groups [2], and Rational Conformal Field Theories [3]. Since these different structures lead to the same 3D invariants, it is natural to wonder how...
متن کاملProbing Moduli Spaces of Sheaves with Donaldson and Seiberg Witten Invariants
We use Donaldson invariants of regular surfaces with pg > 0 to make quantitative statements about modulispaces of stable rank 2 sheaves. We give two examples: a quantitative existence theorem for stable bundles, and a computation of the rank of the canonical holomorphic two forms on the moduli space. The results are in some sense dual to the Donaldson and O’Grady non vanishing theorems because ...
متن کاملFrom Surface Roughening to Qcd String Theory
There exists great interest and considerable effort to explain quark confinement in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) from the string theory viewpoint. The ideas of ’t Hooft, Polyakov, Witten, and others, and recent glueball spectrum or QCD string tension calculations in AdS theories are some illustrative examples of these activities. In a somewhat complementary approach, the search for a microscopi...
