Duality and Topological Quantum Field Theory *
We present a summary of the applications of duality to Donaldson-Witten theory and its generalizations. Special emphasis is made on the computation of Don-aldson invariants in terms of Seiberg-Witten invariants using recent results in N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theory. A brief account on the invariants obtained in the theory of non-abelian monopoles is also presented. Topological quantum field ...
متن کاملQuantum Field Theory - Quantum String Duality in Curved Backgrounds
We introduce a R “Dual” transform which relates Quantum Field Theory and Quantum String regimes, both in a curved background. This operation maps the characteristic len gth of one regime into the other and, as a consequence, mass domains as well. The Hawking-Gibbons tempe rature and the string maximal or critical temperature are dual of each other. If back reaction of quan tum matter is include...
متن کاملModular Structure and Duality in Conformal Quantum Field Theory
Making use of a recent result of Borchers, an algebraic version of the BisognanoWichmann theorem is given for conformal quantum field theories, i.e. the Tomita-Takesaki modular group associated with the von Neumann algebra of a wedge region and the vacuum vector concides with the evolution given by the rescaled pure Lorentz transformations preserving the wedge. A similar geometric description i...
متن کاملDuality in the Context of Topological Quantum Field Theory
We present a summary of the progress made in the last few years on topological quantum field theory in four dimensions. In particular, we describe the role played by duality in the developments which led to the Seiberg-Witten invariants and their relation to the Donaldson invariants. In addition, we analyze the fruitful framework that this connection has originated. This analysis involves the s...
متن کاملDuality and Braiding in Twisted Quantum Field Theory
We re-examine various issues surrounding the definition of twisted quantum field theories on flat noncommutative spaces. We propose an interpretation based on nonlocal commutative field redefinitions which clarifies previously observed properties such as the formal equivalence of Green’s functions in the noncommutative and commutative theories, causality, and the absence of UV/IR mixing. We use...
