Topological Field Theories and the Space - Time Singularity
نویسنده
چکیده
Based on a study of recently proposed solution of 2 dim. black hole we argue that the space-time singularities of general relativity may be described by topological filed theories (TFTs). We also argue that in general TFT is a field theory which describes singular configurations of a reduced holonomy in its field space.

Supergravity with a General Dilaton Coupling
We study supersymmetric (extreme) domain walls in four-dimensional (4d) N = 1 supergravity theories with a general dilaton coupling α > 0. Type I walls, which are static, planar (say, in (x, y) plane) configurations, interpolate between Minkowski space-time and a vacuum with a varying dilaton field. We classify their global space-time with respect to the value of the coupling α. N = 1 supergrav...
متن کاملSingularity-free Cosmological Solutions in String Theories
Singularity-free cosmological solutions may be obtained from the string action at tree level if the dimension of the space-time is greater than 10 and if brane configurations are taken into account. The behaviour of the dilaton field in this case is also regular. Asymptotically a radiative phase is attained indicating a smooth transition to the standard cosmological model. PACS number(s): 04.20...
متن کاملEffect of Magnetic Field and a Mode-I Crack 3D-Problem in Micropolar Thermoelastic Cubic Medium Possessing Under Three Theories
A model of the equations of two dimensional problems in a half space, whose surface in free of micropolar thermoelastic medium possesses cubic symmetry as a result of a Mode-I Crack is studied. There acts an initial magnetic field parallel to the plane boundary of the half- space. The crack is subjected to prescribed temperature and stress distribution. The formulation in the context of the Lor...
متن کاملParticle Content in Topological Field Theories
By demanding that the path integral measure of topological field theories be metric independent, we can derive powerful constraints on the particle content of a topological field theory as well as on the dimensionality of space-time. Ref: OUTP-92-30P Supported by the Royal Society, England. 1
متن کاملBalanced Topological Field Theories
We describe a class of topological field theories called “balanced topological field theories.” These theories are associated to moduli problems with vanishing virtual dimension and calculate the Euler character of various moduli spaces. We show that these theories are closely related to the geometry and equivariant cohomology of “iterated superspaces” that carry two differentials. We find the ...
