We consider the topological theory of Witten type for gauge differential p-forms. It is shown that some topological invariants such as linking numbers appear under quantization of this theory. The non-abelian generalization of the model is discussed.
متن کاملTopological Conformal Field Theories and Gauge Theories
This paper gives a construction, using heat kernels, of differential forms on the moduli space of metrised ribbon graphs, or equivalently on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces with boundary. The construction depends on a manifold with a bundle of Frobenius algebras, satisfying various conditions. These forms satisfy gluing conditions which mean they form an open topological conformal field th...
متن کاملTopological quantum field theories, moduli spaces, and flat gauge connections.
: -We show how to construct a topological quantum field theory which corresponds to a given moduli space. We apply this method to the case of flat gauge connections defined over a Riemann surface and discuss its relations with the Chern-Simons theory and conformal field theory. The case of the SO(2,l) group is separately discussed. A topological field theory is linked to the moduli space of “se...
متن کاملTopological Quantum Field Theories
We intruduce a new invariant for σ models (and foliations more generally) using the even pairing between K-homology and cyclic homology. We try to calculate it for the simplest case of foliations, namely principal bundles. We end up by discussing some possible physical applications primarily in Quantum Gravity and M-Theory. PACS classification: 11.10.-z; 11.15.-q; 11.30.-Ly
متن کاملTopological Quantum Field Theories
Following my plenary lecture on ICMP2000 I review my results concerning two closely related topics: topological quantum field theories and the problem of quantization of gauge theories. I start with old results (first examples of topological quantum field theories were constructed in my papers in late seventies) and I come to some new results, that were not published yet.
