93 N = 2 Supersymmetric Integrable Models and Topological Field Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
These lectures review some of the basic properties of N = 2 superconformal field theories and the corresponding topological field theories. One of my basic aims is to show how the techniques of topological field theory can be used to compute effective LandauGinzburg potentials for perturbed N = 2 superconformal field theories. In particular, I will briefly discuss the application of these ideas to N = 2 supersymmetric quantum integrable models.

We review the construction of exactly solvable lattice models whose continuum limits are N = 2 supersymmetric models. Both critical and off-critical models are discussed. The approach we take is to first find lattice models with natural topological sectors, and then identify the continuum limits of these sectors with topologically twisted N = 2 supersymmetric field theories. From this, we then ...
متن کاملThe Zero Curvature Formulation of TB, sTB Hierarchy and Topological Algebras
A particular dispersive generalization of long water wave equation in 1 + 1 dimensions, which is important in the study of matrix models without scaling limit, known as two–Boson (TB) equation, as well as the associated hierarchy has been derived from the zero curvature condition on the gauge group SL(2, R) ⊗ U(1). The supersymmetric extension of the two–Boson (sTB) hierarchy has similarly been...
متن کاملN = 2 Superstring Theory Generates Supersymmetric Chern-simons Theories
We show that the action of self-dual supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in four-dimensions, which describes the consistent massless background fields for N = 2 superstring, generates the actions for N = 1 and N = 2 supersymmetric non-Abelian Chern-Simons theories in three-dimensions after appropriate dimensional reductions. Since the latters play important roles for supersymmetric integrable mode...

We study two-dimensional integrable N = 1 supersymmetric theories (without topological charges) in the presence of a boundary. We find a universal ratio between the reflection amplitudes for particles that are related by super-symmetry and we propose exact reflection matrices for the supersymmetric extensions of the multi-component Yang-Lee models and for the breather multiplets of the supersym...
متن کاملTopological Matter in Two Dimensions
Topological quantum field theories containing matter fields are constructed by twisting N = 2 supersymmetric quantum field theories. It is shown that N = 2 chiral (antichiral) multiplets lead to topological sigma models while N = 2 twisted chiral (twisted antichiral) multiplets lead to Landau-Ginzburg type topological quantum field theories. In addition, topological gravity in two dimensions is...
