On a Conformal Field Theory Approach to Seiberg-witten Models
نویسنده
چکیده
The use of conformal field theory tools in string theory is, of course, not new. However, with the advent of logarithmic conformal field theory (LCFT, see [1] and referecnes therein) we may have a better machinery to describe physics whose underlying structure is determined by the geometry of Riemannian manifolds, in particular Riemannian surfaces. This is especially the case in modern string theory with its new family members such as branes, M -theory and the resulting exactly solvable low-energy effective field theories.

A topological quantum field theory is introduced which reproduces the Seiberg-Witten invariants of four-manifolds. Dimensional reduction of this topo-logical field theory leads to a new one in three dimensions. Its partition function yields a three-manifold invariant, which can be regarded as the Seiberg-Witten version of Casson's invariant. A Geometrical interpretation of the three dimensional...
متن کاملPure Gauge SU(2) Seiberg-Witten Theory and Modular Forms
We identify the spectral curve of pure gauge SU(2) Seiberg-Witten theory with the Weierstrass curve C/L ∋ z 7→ (1, ℘(z), ℘(z)) and thereby obtain explicitely a modular form from which the moduli space parameter u and lattice parameters a, aD can be derived in terms of modular respectively theta functions. We also discuss its relationship with the c = −2 triplet model conformal field theory.
متن کاملLogarithmic Conformal Field Theory
The periods of arbitrary abelian forms on hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces, in particular the periods of the meromorphic Seiberg-Witten differential λ SW , are shown to be in one-to-one correspondence with the conformal blocks of correlation functions of the rational logarithmic conformal field theory with central charge c = c 2,1 = −2. The fields of this theory precisely simulate the branched do...
متن کاملDEVELOPMENT IN STRING THEORY
The string theory is a fast moving subject, both physics wise and in the respect of mathematics. In order to keep up with the discipline it is important to move with new ideas which are being stressed. Here I wish to give extracts from new papers of ideas which I have recently found interesting. There are six papers which are involved: I ."Strings formulated directly in 4 dimensions " A. N...
متن کاملOn a Class of Conformal Metrics Arising in Work of Seiberg and Witten
We examine a class of conformal metrics arising in the \N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory" of Seiberg and Witten. We provide several alternate characterizations of this class of metrics and proceed to examine issues of existence and boundary behavior and to parameterize the collection of Seiberg-Witten metrics with isolated non-essential singularities on a xed compact Riemann surface. In c...
