Homotopy Gerstenhaber Algebras and Topological Field Theory
We prove that the BRST complex of a topological conformal field theory is a homotopy Gerstenhaber algebra, as conjectured by Lian and Zuckerman in 1992. We also suggest a refinement of the original conjecture for topological vertex operator algebras. We illustrate the usefulness of our main tools, operads and “string vertices” by obtaining new results on Vassiliev invariants of knots and double...
متن کاملOperator Algebras and Conformal Field Theory
We define and study two-dimensional, chiral conformal field theory by the methods of algebraic field theory. We start by characterizing the vacuum sectors of such theories and show that, under very general hypotheses, their algebras of local observables are isomorphic to the unique hyperfinite type III1 factor. The conformal net determined by the algebras of local observables is proven to satis...
متن کاملAlgebraic Quantum Field Theory and Operator Algebras
In this series of lectures directed towards a mainly mathematically oriented audience I try to motivate the use of operator algebra methods in quantum field theory. Therefore a title as " why mathematicians are/should be interested in algebraic quantum field theory " would be equally fitting. Besides a presentation of the framework and the main results of local quantum physics these notes may s...
متن کاملW-algebras arising as chiral algebras of conformal field theory
The presence of infinite dimensional chiral symmetries is central to the study of two dimensional conformal field theories. These symmetries, called chiral algebras, are formed by the purely holomorphic and purely anti-holomorphic fields, respectively. How the field content of a conformal field theory (CFT) is organised into representations of the chiral algebras is encoded in the fusion ring. ...
متن کاملThe associative algebras of conformal field theory
Modulo the ideal generated by the derivative fields, the normal ordered product of holomorphic fields in two-dimensional conformal field theory yields a commutative and associative algebra. The zero mode algebra can be regarded as a deformation of the latter. Alternatively, it can be described as an associative quotient of the algebra given by a modified normal ordered product. We clarify the r...
