4D and 2D superconformal index with surface operator
We study the superconformal index of the N = 4 super-Yang-Milles theory on S 3 × S1 with the half BPS superconformal surface operator (defect) inserted at the great circle of S3. The half BPS superconformal surface operators preserve the same supersymmetry as well as the symmetry of the chemical potential used in the definition of the superconformal index, so the structure and the parameterizat...
متن کاملTopological Quantum Field Theory
A twisted version of four dimensional supersymmetric gauge theory is formulated. The model, which refines a nonrelativistic treatment by Atiyah, appears to underlie many recent developments in topology of low dimensional manifolds; the Donaldson polynomial invariants of four manifolds and the Floer groups of three manifolds appear naturally. The model may also be interesting from a physical vie...
متن کاملTopological Charge Membranes in 2d and 4d Gauge Theory *
Local topological charge structure in the 2D CP(N-1) sigma models is studied using the overlap Dirac operator. Long-range coherence of topological charge along locally 1D regions in 2D space-time is observed. We discuss the connection between these results and the recent discovery of coherent 3D sheets of topological charge in 4D QCD. In both cases, coherent regions of topological charge form a...
متن کاملAxiomatic Topological Quantum Field Theory
This dissertation provides an introduction to the ideas employed in topological quantum field theory. We illustrate how the field began by considering knot invariants of three-manifolds and demonstrating the consequences of defining such a theory axiomatically. The ideas of category theory are introduced and we show that what we are actually concerned with are symmetric monoidal functors from t...
