Vafa-Witten Theory on N=2 and N=4 Twisted Superspace in Four Dimensions

چکیده
We construct a new off-shell twisted hypermultiplet with a scalar and an anti-self-dual tensor superfields. Using the N = 2 twisted superspace formalism, we construct a Donaldson-Witten theory coupled to the hypermultiplet. We show that this action possesses the Vafa-Witten type N = 4 twisted supersymmetry at the on-shell level. We also reconstruct the action using a N = 4 twisted superconnection formalism.

Topological hypermultiplet on N=2 twisted superspace in four dimensions
We propose a N=2 twisted superspace formalism with a central charge in four dimensions by introducing a Dirac-Kähler twist. Using this formalism, we construct a twisted hypermultiplet action and find an explicit form of fermionic scalar, vector and tensor transformations. We construct a off-shell Donaldson-Witten theory coupled to the twisted hypermultiplet. We show that this action possesses N...

Using the Mathai-Quillen formalism we reexamine the twisted N = 4 supersymmetric model of Vafa-Witten theory. Smooth out the relation between the supersymmetric action and the path integral representation of the Thom class.

We propose N = 4 twisted superspace formalism in four dimensions by introducing Dirac-Kähler twist. In addition to the BRST charge as a scalar counter part of twisted supercharge we find vector and tensor twisted supercharges. By introducing twisted chiral superfield we explicitly construct off-shell twisted N = 4 SUSY invariant action. We can propose variety of supergauge invariant actions by ...
متن کاملS-duality in Vafa-Witten theory for non-simply laced gauge groups
Vafa-Witten theory is a twisted N = 4 supersymmetric gauge theory whose partition functions are the generating functions of the Euler number of instanton moduli spaces. In this paper, we recall quantum gauge theory with discrete electric and magnetic fluxes and review the main results of Vafa-Witten theory when the gauge group is simply laced. Based on the transformations of theta functions and...
متن کاملDuality in the Context of Topological Quantum Field Theory
We present a summary of the progress made in the last few years on topological quantum field theory in four dimensions. In particular, we describe the role played by duality in the developments which led to the Seiberg-Witten invariants and their relation to the Donaldson invariants. In addition, we analyze the fruitful framework that this connection has originated. This analysis involves the s...
