Lattice Topological Field Theory on Non-Orientable Surfaces
The lattice definition of the two-dimensional topological quantum field theory [Fukuma, et al, Commun. Math. Phys. 161, 157 (1994)] is generalized to arbitrary (not necessarily orientable) compact surfaces. It is shown that there is a one-to-one correspondence between real associative ∗-algebras and the topological state sum invariants defined on such surfaces. The partition and n-point functio...
متن کاملLattice 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 کاملClose-packed dimers on nonorientable surfaces
Abstract The problem of enumerating dimers on an M×N net embedded on non-orientable surfaces is considered. We solve both the Möbius strip and Klein bottle problems for all M and N with the aid of imaginary dimer weights. The use of imaginary weights simplifies the analysis, and as a result we obtain new compact solutions in the form of double products. The compact expressions also permit us to...
متن کاملNotes on Topological Field Theory
Introduction The notes give a survey of the basics of the following topological field theories: • The Chern-Simons gauge theory on 3-manifolds, its renormalization, geometric quantization, computation of partition functions by surgery, and relation with Jones Polynomials • Twisted N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on 4-manifolds, its reduction to N = 1 theory with a mass gap, and computati...
متن کاملOrientable and nonorientable minimal surfaces
We describe a theory of Morse-Conley type for orientable and nonorientable minimal surfaces of varying topological type solving Plateau problems in R 3 . 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification 53A10, 49F10, 58E12, 32G 15 After J. Douglas had solved Plateau's problem (this was also independently achieved by T. Rad6), he considered the problem of finding minimal surfaces of higher genus and/or c...
