چکیده
We review definitions of generalized parallel transports in terms of Cheeger-Simons differential characters. Integration formulae are given in terms of Deligne-Beilinson cohomology classes. These representations of parallel transport can be extended to situations involving distributions as is appropriate in the context of quantized fields. LAPTH-750/99 SPhT-T04/080

متن کاملConformally coupled supermultiplets in four and five dimensions
We obtain by superfield methods the exceptional representations of the OSp(2N/4,R) and SU(2,2/1) superalgebras which extend to supersingletons of SU(2,2/2N) and F(4), respectively. These representations describe superconformally coupled multiplets and appear in threeand four-dimensional superconformal field theories which are holographic descriptions of certain antide Sitter supergravities. Lab...

We construct static and time dependent exact soliton solutions for a theory of scalar fields taking values on a wide class of two dimensional target spaces, and defined on the four dimensional space-time S 3 × IR. The construction is based on an ansatz built out of special coordinates on S 3. For the case where the target space is the sphere S 2 , the infinite set of solutions have non-trivial ...

We show that a class of topological field theories are quantum duals of the harmonic oscillator. This is demonstrated by establishing a correspondence between the creation and annihilation operators and non-local gauge invariant observables of the topological field theory. The example is used to discuss some issues concerning background independence and the relation of vacuum energy to the prob...

We give character formulae for the positive energy unitary irreducible representations of the N-extended D=4 conformal superalgebras su(2,2/N). Using these we also derive decompositions of long superfields as they descend to the unitarity threshold. These results are also applicable to irreps of the complex Lie superalgebras sl(4/N). Our derivations use results from the representation theory of...
