Noncommutative Topological Quantum Field Theory-Noncommutative Floer Homology
نویسنده
چکیده
We present some ideas for a possible Noncommutative Floer Homology. The geometric motivation comes from an attempt to build a theory which applies to practically every 3-manifold (closed, oriented and connected) and not only to homology 3-spheres. There is also a physical motivation: one would like to construct a noncommutative topological quantum field theory. The two motivations are closely related since in the commutative case at least, Floer Homology Groups are part of a certain (3+1)-dim Topological Quantum Field Theory. Classification: theoretical physics, mathematical physics, geometric topology, differential geometry, quantum algebra

An informal introduction to the ideas and concepts of noncommutative geometry
This informal introduction is an extended version of a three hours lecture given at the 6th Peyresq meeting “Integrable systems and quantum field theory”. In this lecture, we make an overview of some of the mathematical results which motivated the development of what is called noncommutative geometry. The first of these results is the theorem by Gelfand and Neumark about commutative C∗-algebras...
متن کاملD-branes in Noncommutative Field Theory∗
A mathematical introduction to the classical solutions of noncommutative field theory is presented, with emphasis on how they may be understood as states of D-branes in Type II superstring theory. Both scalar field theory and gauge theory on Moyal spaces are extensively studied. Instantons in Yang-Mills theory on the two-dimensional noncommutative torus and the fuzzy sphere are also constructed...
متن کاملA tour of bordered Floer theory
Heegaard Floer theory is a kind of topological quantum field theory, assigning graded groups to closed, connected, oriented 3-manifolds and group homomorphisms to smooth, oriented 4dimensional cobordisms. Bordered Heegaard Floer homology is an extension of Heegaard Floer homology to 3-manifolds with boundary, with extended-TQFT-type gluing properties. In this survey, we explain the formal struc...
متن کاملRenormalization of Quantum Field Theories on Noncommutative R, I. Scalars
A noncommutative Feynman graph is a ribbon graph and can be drawn on a genus g 2-surface with a boundary. We formulate a general convergence theorem for the noncommutative Feynman graphs in topological terms and prove it for some classes of diagrams in the scalar field theories. We propose a noncommutative analog of Bogoliubov-Parasiuk’s recursive subtraction formula and show that the subtracte...
متن کاملComments on Noncommutative Sigma Models
We review the derivation of a noncommutative version of the nonlinear sigma model on CP and it’s soliton solutions for finite θ emphasizing the similarities it bears to the GMS scalar field theory. It is also shown that unlike the scalar theory, some care needs to be taken in defining the topological charge of BPS solitons of the theory due to nonvanishing surface terms in the energy functional...
