Algebraic Structures of Topological Yang-Mills Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the algebraic structure of the various BRST symmetries associated with topological Yang-Mills theory as a generalization of the BRS analysis developed for the non-Abelian anomaly in the local Yang-Mills theory. We show that our BRST algebra leads to an extended Russian formula and descent equations, which contains the descent equation of Yang-Mills theory as sub-relations. We propose the non-Abelian anomaly counterpart in Topological Yang-Mills theory using the extended descent equation. We also discuss the geometrical structure of our BRST symmetry and some explicit solutions of the extended descent equation are calculated.

Functorial semantics of topological theories
Following the categorical approach to universal algebra through algebraic theories, proposed by F.~W.~Lawvere in his PhD thesis, this paper aims at introducing a similar setting for general topology. The cornerstone of the new framework is the notion of emph{categorically-algebraic} (emph{catalg}) emph{topological theory}, whose models induce a category of topological structures. We introduce t...
متن کاملCategorically-algebraic topology and its applications
This paper introduces a new approach to topology, based on category theory and universal algebra, and called categorically-algebraic (catalg) topology. It incorporates the most important settings of lattice-valued topology, including poslat topology of S.~E.~Rodabaugh, $(L,M)$-fuzzy topology of T.~Kubiak and A.~v{S}ostak, and $M$-fuzzy topology on $L$-fuzzy sets of C.~Guido. Moreover, its respe...
متن کاملTopological Yang-Mills Theories and Donaldson’s Polynomials
The N = 2 topological Yang-Mills and holomorphic Yang-Mills theories on simply connected compact Kähler surfaces with pg ≥ 1 are reexamined. The N = 2 symmetry is clarified in terms of a Dolbeault model of the equivariant cohomology. We realize the non-algebraic part of Donaldson’s polynomial invariants as well as the algebraic part. We calculate Donaldson’s polynomials on H(S,Z)⊕H(S,Z). 1991 M...
متن کاملA Renormalized Supersymmetry in the Topological Yang - Mills Field Theory
We reconsider the algebraic BRS renormalization of Witten’s topological Yang-Mills field theory by making use of a vector supersymmetry Ward identity which improves the finiteness properties of the model. The vector supersymmetric structure is a common feature of several topological theories. The most general local counterterm is determined and is shown to be a trivial BRS-coboundary. Work supp...
متن کاملBrs Cohomology in Topological String Theory and Integrable Systems
In cohomological field theory we can obtain topological invariants as correlation functions of BRS cohomology classes. A proper understanding of BRS cohomology which gives non-trivial results requires the equivariant cohomology theory. Both topological Yang-Mills theory and topological string theory are typical examples of this fact. After reviewing the role of the equivariant cohomology in top...
