Breaking of Topological Symmetry
The coupling of topological matter to topological Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions is considered and a model is presented. It is shown that, contrary to the two-dimensional case, this coupling may lead to a breaking of the topological symmetry. This means that the vacuum expectation values of the observables of the theory loose their invariance under small deformations of the metric while t...
متن کاملFormation of extended topological defects during symmetry breaking phase transitions in O ( 2 ) and O ( 3 ) models
The density of extended topological defects created during symmetry breaking phase transitions depends on the ratio between the correlation length in the symmetric phase near Tc and the winding length of the defects as determined by the momentaneous effective action after a typical relaxation time. Conservation of winding number in numerical simulations requires a suitable embedding of the fiel...
متن کاملTopological singularities and symmetry breaking in development
The review presents a topological interpretation of some morphogenetic events through the use of well-known mathematical concepts and theorems. Spatial organization of the biological fields is analyzable in topological terms. Topological singularities inevitably emerging in biological morphogenesis are retained and transformed during pattern formation. It is the topological language that can pr...
متن کاملTopological Symmetry Breaking on Einstein Manifolds
It is known that if gauge conditions have Gribov zero modes, then topological symmetry is broken. In this paper we apply it to topological gravity in dimension n 3. Our choice of the gauge condition for conformal invariance is R+ = 0 , where R is the Ricci scalar curvature. We nd when 6= 0, topological symmetry is not broken, but when = 0 and solutions of the Einstein equations exist then topol...
متن کاملTopological Maxwell Field Theory and Symmetry Breaking
DRAFT of the first few pages... 1. Topological Field Theory 1.1. Preface Finally, I have found time to think about, and the incentive to study, how the field theory of Topological thermodynamics, electrodynamics, and hydrodynamics can be compared to field theory concepts that have been developed by Lagrangian methods, for both the classic and quantum mechanical varieties. For more than 30 years...
