Dimensional reduction of dual topological theories
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe the reduction from four to two dimensions of the SU(2) Donaldson-Witten theory and the dual twisted Seiberg-Witten theory, i.e. the Abelian topological field theory corresponding to the Seiberg–Witten monopole equations. NBI-HE-96-14 hep-th/9603023 ∗E-mail: [email protected]

Topological mass in seven dimensions and dualities in four dimensions
The massive topologically and self dual theories en seven dimensions are considered. The local duality between these theories is established and the dimensional reduction lead to the different dualities for massive antisymmetric fields in four dimensions. The topological Chern Simons terms have played an important role in several physical models. For instance, they appear in the eleven dimensio...
متن کاملTopological Field Theories associated with Three Dimensional Seiberg-Witten Monopoles
Three dimensional topological field theories associated with the three dimensional version of Abelian and non-Abelian Seiberg-Witten monopoles are presented. These three dimensional monopole equations are obtained by a dimensional reduction of the four dimensional ones. The starting actions to be considered are Gaussian types with random auxiliary fields. As the local gauge symmetries with topo...
متن کاملYang-Mills Theory as a Deformation of Topological Field Theory, Dimensional Reduction and Quark Confinement
We prove quark confinement in four-dimensional QCD based on the criterion of area law of Wilson loop. First, Yang-Mills theory with a non-Abelian gauge group G is reformulated as a deformation of a novel topological field theory. Next, a special class of topological field theories is defined by both BRST and anti-BRST exact action corresponding to the maximal abelian gauge leaving the maximal t...
متن کاملTopological Field Theory of Vortices over Closed Kähler Manifolds
By dimensional reduction, Einstein-Hermitian equations of n + 1 dimensional closed Kähler manifolds lead to vortex equations of n dimensional closed Kähler manifolds. A Yang-Mills-Higgs functional to unitary bundles over closed Kähler manifolds has topological invariance by adding the additional terms which have ghost fields. Henceforth we achieve the matter (Higgs field) coupled topological fi...
متن کاملThe gravity dual of supersymmetric Rényi entropy
Supersymmetric Rényi entropies are defined for three-dimensional N = 2 superconformal field theories on a branched covering of a three-sphere by using the localized partition functions. Under a conformal transformation, the branched covering is mapped to S1 × H2, whose gravity dual is the charged topological AdS4 black hole. The black hole can be embedded into four-dimensional N = 2 gauged supe...
