Extended higher cup-product Chern-Simons theories
It is well known that the proper action functional of (4k+ 3)-dimensional U(1)-Chern-Simons theory including the instanton sectors is given on gauge equivalence classes of fields by the fiber integration of the cup product square of classes in degree-(2k + 2) differential cohomology. We first refine this statement from gauge equivalence classes to the full higher smooth moduli stack of fields, ...
متن کاملCup product and intersection
This is a handout for my algebraic topology course. The goal is to explain a geometric interpretation of the cup product. Namely, if X is a closed oriented smooth manifold, if A and B are oriented submanifolds of X, and if A and B intersect transversely, then the Poincaré dual of A∩B is the cup product of the Poincaré duals of A and B. As an application, we prove the Lefschetz fixed point formu...
متن کاملExtended Gauge Theories in Euclidean Space with Higher Spin Fields
The extended Yang-Mills gauge theory in Euclidean space is a renormalizable (by power counting) gauge theory describing a local interacting theory of scalar, vector, and tensor gauge fields (with maximum spin 2). In this article we study the quantum aspects and various generalizations of this model in Euclidean space. In particular the quantization of the pure gauge model in a common class of c...
متن کاملHigher-order theories
We extend our approach to abstract syntax (with binding constructions) through modules and linearity. First we give a new general definition of arity, yielding the companion notion of signature. Then we obtain a modularity result as requested by [GU03]: in our setting, merging two extensions of syntax corresponds to building an amalgamated sum. Finally we define a natural notion of equation con...
متن کاملDeconstructed Higher Dimensional Gauge Theories
The idea of deconstructing higher dimensional gauge theories is reviewed. Its several potential physical applications are also discussed. Higher dimensional gauge theories o er interesting new tools to understand the roots of the Standard Model. Among other things, gauge symmetries can be broken by compacti cation process on singular manifolds, e.g. on orbifolds. Moreover compacti cation on orb...
