Lattice Supersymmetry and Topological Field Theory
We discuss the connection between supersymmetric field theories and topological field theories and show how this connection may be used to construct local lattice field theories which maintain an exact supersymmetry. It is shown how metric independence of the continuum topological field theory allows us to derive the lattice theory by blocking out of the continuum in a deformed geometry. This, ...
متن کاملA Renormalized Supersymmetry in the Topological Yang - Mills Field Theory
We reconsider the algebraic BRS renormalization of Witten’s topological Yang-Mills field theory by making use of a vector supersymmetry Ward identity which improves the finiteness properties of the model. The vector supersymmetric structure is a common feature of several topological theories. The most general local counterterm is determined and is shown to be a trivial BRS-coboundary. Work supp...
متن کاملTopological Field Theory, Higher Categories, and Their Applications
It has been common wisdom among mathematicians that Extended Topological Field Theory in dimensions higher than two is naturally formulated in terms of n-categories with n > 1. Recently the physical meaning of these higher categorical structures has been recognized and concrete examples of Extended TFTs have been constructed. Some of these examples, like the Rozansky-Witten model, are of geomet...
متن کاملHigher-Dimensional Algebra and Topological Quantum Field Theory
The study of topological quantum field theories increasingly relies upon concepts from higher-dimensional algebra such as n-categories and n-vector spaces. We review progress towards a definition of n-category suited for this purpose, and outline a program in which n-dimensional TQFTs are to be described as n-category representations. First we describe a ‘suspension’ operation on ncategories, a...
متن کاملReal Rank and Topological Dimension of Higher Rank Graph Algebras
We study dimension theory for the C∗-algebras of row-finite k-graphs with no sources. We establish that strong aperiodicity—the higher-rank analogue of condition (K)—for a k-graph is necessary and sufficient for the associated C∗-algebra to have topological dimension zero. We prove that a purely infinite 2-graph algebra has real-rank zero if and only if it has topological dimension zero and sat...
