Koszul duality in quantum field theory

چکیده
In this article, we introduce basic aspects of the algebraic notion Koszul duality for a physics audience. We then review its appearance in physical problem coupling QFTs to topological line defects, and illustrate concept with some examples drawn from twists various simple supersymmetric theories. Though much content article is well-known experts, presentation have not, our knowledge, appeared literature before. Our aim provide an elementary introduction those interested gauge theories defects and, ultimately, generalizations higher-dimensional twisted holography.

Koszul Duality Patterns in Representation Theory
The aim of this paper is to work out a concrete example as wellas to provide the general pattern of applications of Koszul duality to repre-sentation theory. The paper consists of three parts relatively independent ofeach other.The first part gives a reasonably selfcontained introduction to Koszul ringsand Koszul duality. Koszul rings are certain Z-graded rings with particul...
متن کاملDuality 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 کاملGale Duality and Koszul Duality
Given a hyperplane arrangement in an affine space equipped with a linear functional, we define two finite-dimensional, noncommutative algebras, both of which are motivated by the geometry of hypertoric varieties. We show that these algebras are Koszul dual to each other, and that the roles of the two algebras are reversed by Gale duality. We also study the centers and representation categories ...
متن کاملPoincaré/koszul Duality
We prove a duality for factorization homology which generalizes both usual Poincaré duality for manifolds and Koszul duality for En-algebras. The duality has application to the Hochschild homology of associative algebras and enveloping algebras of Lie algebras. We interpret our result at the level of topological quantum field theory.
