Q-Exact Actions for BF Theories
The actions for all classical (and consequently quantum) BF theories on n-manifolds is proven to be given by anti-commutators of hermitian, nilpotent, scalar fermionic charges with Grassmann-odd functionals. In order to show this, the space of fields in the theory must be enlarged to include “mass terms” for new, non-dynamical, Grassmann-odd fields. The implications of this result on observable...
متن کاملBf Theories and 2-knots
We discuss the relations between (topological) quantum field theories in 4 dimensions and the theory of 2-knots (embedded 2-spheres in a 4-manifold). The so-called BF theories allow the construction of quantum operators whose trace can be considered as the higher-dimensional generalization of Wilson lines for knots in 3-dimensions. First-order perturbative calculations lead to higher dimensiona...
متن کامل4-dimensional BF Gravity on the Lattice
We propose the lattice version of BF gravity action whose partition function leads to the product of a particular form of 15-j symbol which corresponds to a 4-simplex. The action is explicitly constructed by lattice B field defined on triangles and link variables defined on dual links and is shown to be invariant under lattice local Lorentz transformation and Kalb-Ramond gauge transformation. W...
متن کاملFixed-Point Free Circle Actions on 4-Manifolds
This paper is concerned with fixed-point free S-actions (smooth or locally linear) on orientable 4-manifolds. We show that the fundamental group plays a predominant role in the equivariant classification of such 4-manifolds. In particular, it is shown that for any finitely presented group with infinite center, there are at most finitely many distinct smooth (resp. topological) 4-manifolds which...
متن کامل1 BF Actions for the Husain - Kuchař Model
We show that the Husain-Kuchař model can be described in the framework of BF theories. This is a first step towards its quantization by standard perturbative QFT techniques or the spin-foam formalism introduced in the space-time description of General Relativity and other diff-invariant theories. The actions that we will consider are similar to the ones describing the BF-Yang-Mills model and so...
