Homological Quantum Field Theory

چکیده
We show that the space of chains of smooth maps from spheres into a fixed compact oriented manifold has a natural structure of a transversal d-algebra. We construct a structure of transversal 1-category on the space of chains of maps from a suspension space S(Y ), with certain boundary restrictions, into a fixed compact oriented manifold. We define homological quantum field theories HLQFT and construct several examples of such structures. Our definition is based on the notions of string topology of Chas and Sullivan, and homotopy quantum field theories of Turaev.

متن کاملHomology and manifolds with corners
We define a model for the homology of manifolds and use it to describe the intersection product on the homology of compact oriented manifolds and to define homological quantum field theories which generalizes the notions of string topology introduced by Chas and Sullivan and homotopy quantum field theories introduced by Turaev.
متن کاملNotes on Noncommutative Geometry
Noncommutative geometry has roots in and is a synthesis of a number of diverse areas of mathematics, including: • Hilbert space and single operator theory; • Operator algebras (C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras); • Spin geometry – Dirac operators – index theory; • Algebraic topology – homological algebra. It has certainly also been inspired by quantum mechanics, and, besides feedback to the ...
متن کاملHomology TQFT’s and the Alexander-Reidemeister Invariant of 3-Manifolds via Hopf Algebras and Skein Theory
We develop an explicit skein theoretical algorithm to compute the Alexander polynomial of a 3-manifold from a surgery presentation employing the methods used in the construction of quantum invariants of 3-manifolds. As a prerequisite we establish and prove a rather unexpected equivalence between the topological quantum field theory constructed by Frohman and Nicas using the homology of U(1)repr...
متن کاملRUNHETC - 2000 - 42 D - branes , Categories and N = 1 Supersymmetry
We show that boundary conditions in topological open string theory on Calabi-Yau manifolds are objects in the derived category of coherent sheaves, as foreseen in the homological mirror symmetry proposal of Kontsevich. Together with conformal field theory considerations, this leads to a precise criterion determining the BPS branes at any point in CY moduli space, completing the proposal of Π-st...
