Topological gravity localization on a delta-function like Brane

open access: yes, 2005
Besides the String Theory context, the quantum General Relativity can be studied by the use of constrained topological field theories. In the celebrated Plebanski formalism, the constraints connecting topological field theories and gravity are imposed in

Black Hole Entropy and the Dimensional Continuation of the Gauss-Bonnet Theorem

open access: yes, 1993
The Euclidean black hole has topology $\Re^2 \times {\cal S}^{d-2}$. It is shown that -in Einstein's theory- the deficit angle of a cusp at any point in $\Re^2$ and the area of the ${\cal S}^{d-2}$ are canonical conjugates. The black hole entropy emerges

The ghost length and duality on the chain and cochain type levels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We establish equalities between cochain and chain type levels of maps by making use of exact functors which connect appropriate derived and coderived categories.

Hodge-type integrals on moduli spaces of admissible covers

open access: yes, 2007
We study Hodge Integrals on Moduli Spaces of Admissible Covers. Motivation for this work comes from Bryan and Pandharipande's recent work on the local GW theory of curves, where analogouos intersection numbers, computed on Moduli Spaces of Relative ...

Gauge Group and Topology Change

open access: yes, 2011
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of topology change in the initial universe. In this study, the concept of $G$-cobordism is introduced to argue about the topology change of the manifold on which a transformation group acts.

What do Topologists want from Seiberg--Witten theory? (A review of four-dimensional topology for physicists)

open access: yes, 2002
In 1983, Donaldson shocked the topology world by using instantons from physics to prove new theorems about four-dimensional manifolds, and he developed new topological invariants.

Operator mixing in N = 4 SYM: The Konishi anomaly re-re-visited

open access: yes, 2010
The supersymmetry transformation relating the Konishi operator to its lowest descendant in the 10 of SU(4) is not manifest in the N=1 formulation of the theory but rather uses an equation of motion.

A remark on the invariance of dimension [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Combining Kulpa's proof of the cubical Sperner lemma and a dimension theoretic idea of van Mill we give a very short proof of the invariance of dimension, i.e. the statement that cubes [0,1]^n, [0,1]^m are homeomorphic if and only if n=m.

Exotic Differentiable Structures and General Relativity

open access: yes, 1992
We review recent developments in differential topology with special concern for their possible significance to physical theories, especially general relativity.
