A Note on Knot Invariants and q-Deformed 2d Yang-Mills
نویسنده
چکیده
We compute expectation values of Wilson loops in q-deformed 2d Yang-Mills on a Riemann surface and show that they give invariants of knots in 3-manifolds which are circle bundles over the Riemann surface. The areas of the loops play an essential role in encoding topological information about the extra dimension, and they are quantized to integer or half integer values.

A Note on q-Deformed Two-Dimensional Yang-Mills and Open Topological Strings
In this note we make a test of the open topological string version of the OSV conjecture, proposed in hep-th/0504054, in the toric Calabi-Yau manifold X = O(−3) → P with background D4-branes wrapped on Lagrangian submanifolds. The D-brane partition function reduces to an expectation value of some inserted operators of a q-deformed Yang-Mills theory living on a chain of P’s in the base P of X. A...
متن کاملAspects of the q–deformed Fuzzy Sphere
These notes are a short review of the q–deformed fuzzy sphere S2 q,N , which is a “finite” noncommutative 2–sphere covariant under the quantum group Uq(su(2)). We discuss its real structure, differential calculus and integration for both real q and q a phase, and show how actions for Yang–Mills and Chern–Simons–like gauge theories arise naturally. It is related to D-branes on the SU(2)k WZW mod...
متن کاملDeformed Traces and Covariant Quantum Algebras for Quantum Groups
The q-deformed traces and orbits for the two parametric quantum groups GLqp(2) and GLqp(1|1) are defined. They are subsequently used in the construction of q-orbit invariants for these groups. General qp-(super)oscillator commutation relations are obtained which remain invariant under the co-actions of groups GLqp(2) and GLqp(1|1). The GLqp(2)-covariant deformed algebra is deduced in terms of t...
متن کاملTopological string theory from D-brane bound states
We investigate several examples of BPS bound states of branes and their associated topological field theories, providing a window on the nonperturbative behavior of the topological string. First, we demonstrate the existence of a large N phase transition with respect to the ’t Hooft coupling in q-deformed Yang-Mills theory on S. The Ooguri-StromingerVafa [62] relation of this theory to topologi...
متن کاملTorus Knot Polynomials and Susy Wilson Loops
We give, using an explicit expression obtained in [V. Jones, Ann. of Math. 126, 335 (1987)], a basic hypergeometric representation of the HOMFLY polynomial of (n,m) torus knots, and present a number of equivalent expressions, all related by Heine’s transformations. Using this result the (m,n) ↔ (n,m) symmetry and the leading polynomial at large N are explicit. We show the latter to be the Wilso...
