Poisson Structure Induced (Topological) Field Theories

چکیده
A class of two dimensional field theories, based on (generically degenerate) Poisson structures and generalizing gravity-Yang-Mills systems, is presented. Locally, the solutions of the classical equations of motion are given. A general scheme for the quantization of the models in a Hamiltonian formulation is found.

Topological Field Theories and Geometry of Batalin-Vilkovisky Algebras
We analyze the algebraic and geometric structures of deformations of Schwarz type topological field theories. Deformations of the Chern-Simons-BF theory and BF theories in n dimensions are analyzed. Two dimensionanl theory induces the Poisson structure and three dimensional theory induces the Courant algebroid structure on the target space as a sigma model. We generalize these structures to hig...

The close interplay between geometry, topology and algebra turned out to be a most crucial point in the analysis of low dimensional field theories. This is particularly true for the large class of topological and almost topological two-dimensional field theories which can be treated comprehensively in the framework of Poisson-σ models. Examples are provided by pure YangMills and gravity theorie...
متن کاملTopological field theory interpretation of string topology
The string bracket introduced by Chas and Sullivan is reinterpreted from the point of view of topological field theories in the Batalin-Vilkovisky or BRST formalisms. Namely, topological action functionals for gauge fields (generalizing Chern-Simons and BF theories) are considered together with generalized Wilson loops. The latter generate a (Poisson or Gerstenhaber) algebra of functionals with...
متن کاملNoncommutative Two-dimensional Topological Field Theories and Hurwitz Numbers for Real Algebraic Curves
It is well-known that classical two-dimensional topological field theories are in one-to-one correspondence with commutative Frobenius algebras. An important extension of classical two-dimensional topological field theories is provided by open-closed two-dimensional topological field theories. In this paper we extend open-closed two-dimensional topological field theories to nonorientable surfac...
متن کاملFrom Topological Field Theory to Defor- mation Quantization and Reduction
This note describes the functional-integral quantization of two-dimensional topological field theories together with applications to problems in deformation quantization of Poisson manifolds and reduction of certain submanifolds. A brief introduction to smooth graded manifolds and to the Batalin–Vilkovisky formalism is included. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000). Primary 81T45; Secondar...
