چکیده

We consider random topologies of surfaces generated by cubic interactions. Such surfaces arise in various contexts in 2-dimensional quantum gravity and as worldsheets of string theory. Our results are most conveniently expressed in terms of a parameter h = n/2+χ, where n is the number of interaction vertices and χ is the Euler characteristic of the surface. Simulations and results for similar models suggest that Ex[h] = log(3n) + γ+O(1/n) and Var[h] = log(3n)+γ−π2/6+O(1/n). We prove rigourously that Ex[h] = logn + O(1) and Var[h] = O(logn). We also derive results concerning a number of other characteristics of the topology of these random surfaces. * The work reported here was supported by an NSERC Research Grant and a Canada Research Chair. † The work reported here was supported by an NSERC Research Grant.

We present a new and shorter proof of Stocking's result that any strongly irreducible Heegaard surface of a closed orientable triangulated 3– manifold is isotopic to an almost normal surface. To make our paper essentially self-contained, we reprove a result of Jaco and Rubinstein on normal spheres, Scharlemann's " no nesting " lemma, and the fact that S 3 has no strongly irre-ducible Heegaard s...

We propose an algorithm for the construction of higher order gauge field theories from a superfield formulation within the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism. This is a generalization of the superfield algorithm recently considered by Batalin and Marnelius. This generalization seems to allow for non-topological gauge field theories as well as alternative representations of topological ones. A five di...

The dynamics of totally symmetric free massless higher spin fields in AdS d is reformulated in terms of the compensator formalism for AdS gravity. The AdS 5 higher spin algebra is identified with the star product algebra with the su(2, 2) vector (i.e., o(4, 2) spinor) generating elements. Cubic interactions of the totally symmetric bosonic higher spin gauge fields in AdS 5 , including the inter...

We compute topological correlators in Landau-Ginzburg models on a Riemann surface with arbitrary number of handles and boundaries. The boundaries may correspond to arbitrary topological D-branes of type B. We also allow arbitrary operator insertions on the boundary and in the bulk. The answer is given by an explicit formula which can be regarded as an open-string generalization of C. Vafa’s for...
