3-manifold Invariants from Cosets
We construct unitary modular categories for a general class of coset conformal field theories based on our previous study of these theories in the algebraic quantum field theory framework using subfactor theory. We also consider the calculations of the corresponding 3-manifold invariants. It is shown that under certain index conditions the link invaraints colored by the representations of coset...
متن کاملAxioms for Higher Torsion Invariants of Smooth Bundles
We explain the relationship between various characteristic classes for smooth manifold bundles known as “higher torsion” classes. We isolate two fundamental properties that these cohomology classes may or may not have: additivity and transfer. We show that higher Franz-Reidemeister torsion and higher Miller-Morita-Mumford classes satisfy these axioms. Conversely, any characteristic class of smo...
متن کاملHigher rank Einstein solvmanifolds
In this paper we study the structure of standard Einstein solvmanifolds of arbitrary rank. Also the validity of a variational method for finding standard Einstein solvmanifolds is proved.
متن کاملPu(n) Monopoles, Higher Rank Instantons, and the Monopole Invariants
A famous conjecture in gauge theory mathematics, attributed to Witten, suggests that the polynomial invariants of Donaldson are expressible in terms of the Seiberg-Witten invariants if the underlying four-manifold is of simple type. Mathematicians have sought a proof of the conjecture by means of a ‘cobordism program’ involving PU(2) monopoles. A higher rank version of the Donaldson invariants ...
متن کاملInvariants and polynomial identities for higher rank matrices
We exhibit explicit expressions, in terms of components, of discriminants, determinants, characteristic polynomials and polynomial identities for matrices of higher rank. We define permutation tensors and in term of them we construct discriminants and the determinant as the discriminant of order d, where d is the dimension of the matrix. The characteristic polynomials and the Cayley–Hamilton th...
