On equivalence of Floer’s and quantum cohomology
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that the Floer cohomology and quantum cohomology rings of the almost Kähler manifold M , both defined over the Novikov ring of the loop space LM , are isomorphic. We do it using a BRST trivial deformation of the topological A-model. The relevant aspect of noncompactness of the moduli of pseudoholomorphic instantons is discussed. It is shown nonperturbatively that any BRST trivial deformation of A-model which does not change the dimensions of BRST cohomology does not change the topological correlation functions either.

We use path integral methods and topological quantum field theory techniques to investigate a generic classical Hamiltonian system. In particular, we show that Floer’s instanton equation is related to a functional Euler character in the quantum cohomology defined by the topological nonlinear σ–model. This relation is an infinite dimensional analog of the relation between Poincaré–Hopf and Gauss...
متن کاملSurgery, Cohomology and Quantum Invariants of 3-manifolds
Let f be an integer greater than one. Type-f surgery is a kind of surgery along a knot in a 3-manifold which generalizes the notion of n/f surgery in a homology sphere. Such surgeries preserves the cohomology groups with Zf coefficients. Type-f surgery generates an equivalence relation on 3manifolds called f -equivalence. If f is odd, type-f surgery also preserves the cohomology ring structure ...

We found a quantum cohomology, homology of quantum Hall effect which arises as the invariant property of the Chern-Simons theory of quantum Hall effect and showed that it should be equivalent to the quantum cohomology which arose as the invariant property of topological sigma models. This isomorphism should be related with an equivalence between the supersymmetric-and quantization structures in...
متن کاملGroup Cohomology and Gauge Equivalence of Some Twisted Quantum Doubles
We study the module category associated to the quantum double of a finite abelian group G twisted by a 3-cocycle, which is known to be a braided monoidal category, and investigate the question of when two such categories are equivalent. We base our discussion on an exact sequence which interweaves the ordinary and Eilenberg-Mac Lane cohomology of G. Roughly speaking, this reveals that the data ...
متن کاملQuantum Cohomology of G/p and Homology of Affine Grassmannian
Let G be a simple and simply-connected complex algebraic group, P ⊂ G a parabolic subgroup. We prove an unpublished result of D. Peterson which states that the quantum cohomology QH∗(G/P ) of a flag variety is, up to localization, a quotient of the homology H∗(GrG) of the affine Grassmannian GrG of G. As a consequence, all three-point genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants of G/P are identified wi...
