Standard model as the topological material

A Topological Formulation of the Standard Model

A topological theory for the interactions in Nature is presented. The theory derives from the cyclic properties of the topological manifold Q = 2T 3 ⊕ 3S × S which has 23 intrinsic degrees of freedom, discrete Z3 and Z2 × Z3 internal groups, an SU(5) gauge group, and an anomalous U(1) symmetry. These properties reproduce the standard model with a stable proton, a natural place for CP violation ...

Topological physics in the standard model and beyond

Topological interactions are an essential ingredient for building consistent low-energy theories of fermions, gauge fields and Nambu-Goldstone bosons in the absence of explicit UV completions, such as in Little Higgs theories. These interactions are also a probe of UV completion physics that may be out of direct experimental reach. The technology of topological, or WessZumino-Witten interaction...

1 String as a Topological Model

The discrete states in the c = 1 string are shown to be the physical states of a certain topological sigma model. We define a set of new fields directly from c = 1 variables, in terms of which the BRST charge and energy-momentum tensor are rewritten as those of the topological sigma model. Remarkably, ground ring generator x turns out to be a coordinate of the sigma model. All of the discrete s...

Topological Functioning Model as a CIM-Business Model

The Object Management Group (OMG) proposed Model Driven Architecture (MDA) that architecturally separates viewpoints on specifications. MDA suggests three different models for each of the proposed viewpoints. According to MDA principles stated in (The Object Management Group, 2003), they are a Computation Independent Model (CIM), a Platform Independent Model (PIM), and a Platform Specific Model...
