On the structure of open-closed topological field theory in two-dimensions

چکیده
I discuss the general formalism of two-dimensional topological field theories defined on open-closed oriented Riemann surfaces, starting from an extension of Segal’s geometric axioms. Exploiting the topological sewing constraints allows for the identification of the algebraic structure governing such systems. I give a careful treatment of bulk-boundary and boundary-bulk correspondences, which are responsible for the relation between the closed and open sectors. The fact that these correspondences need not be injective nor surjective has interesting implications for the problem of classifying ‘boundary conditions’. In particular, I give a clear geometric derivation of the (topological) boundary state formalism and point out some of its limitations. Finally, I formulate the problem of classifying (on-shell) boundary extensions of a given closed topological field theory in purely algebraic terms and discuss reducibility of boundary extensions. ∗ [email protected]

On generalized topological molecular lattices
In this paper, we introduce the concept of the generalized topological molecular lattices as a generalization of Wang's topological molecular lattices, topological spaces, fuzzy topological spaces, L-fuzzy topological spaces and soft topological spaces. Topological molecular lattices were defined by closed elements, but in this new structure we present the concept of the open elements and defi...
متن کاملOn weakly e*-open and weakly e*-closed Functions
The aim of this paper is to introduce and study two new classes of functions called weakly $e^{*}$-open functions and weakly $e^{*}$-closed functions via the concept of $e^{*}$-open set defined by Ekici cite{erd1}. The notions of weakly $e^{*}$-open and weakly $e^{*}$-closed functions are weaker than the notions of weakly $beta$-open and weakly $beta$-closed functions defined by Caldas and Nava...
متن کاملOn Generalized Injective Spaces in Generalized Topologies
In this paper, we first present a new type of the concept of open sets by expressing some properties of arbitrary mappings on a power set. With the generalization of the closure spaces in categorical topology, we introduce the generalized topological spaces and the concept of generalized continuity and become familiar with weak and strong structures for generalized topological spaces. Then, int...
متن کاملConnected and Hyperconnected Generalized Topological Spaces
A. Csaszar introduced and extensively studied the notion of generalized open sets. Following Csazar, we introduce a new notion hyperconnected. We study some specic properties about connected and hyperconnected in generalized topological spaces. Finally, we characterize the connected component in generalized topological spaces.
