Topological field theories and symmetry protected topological phases with fusion category symmetries [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 Fusion category symmetries are finite symmetries in 1+1 dimensions described by unitary fusion categories. We classify 1+1d time-reversal invariant bosonic symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases with fusion category symmetry by using topological ...

Balanced Topological Field Theories [PDF]
Communications in Mathematical Physics, 1996 We describe a class of topological field theories called ``balanced topological field theories.'' These theories are associated to moduli problems with vanishing virtual dimension and calculate the Euler character of various moduli spaces.

Intrinsic sign problems in topological quantum field theories [PDF]
Physical Review Research, 2020 The sign problem is a widespread numerical hurdle preventing us from simulating the equilibrium behavior of various problems at the forefront of physics.

D-Branes and Topological Field Theories [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B, 1995 In the presence of a D-brane a string theory develops a new subsector. We show that for curved D-branes the corresponding sector is a (partially twisted) topological field theory.

Boundary Conditions for Topological Quantum Field Theories, Anomalies and Projective Modular Functors [PDF]
, 2015 We study boundary conditions for extended topological quantum field theories (TQFTs) and their relation to topological anomalies. We introduce the notion of TQFTs with moduli level $m$, and describe extended anomalous theories as natural transformations ...

Invertible topological field theories [PDF]
Journal of Topology, 2017 A d$d$ ‐dimensional invertible topological field theory (TFT) is a functor from the symmetric monoidal (∞,n)$(\infty,n)$ ‐category of d$d$ ‐bordisms (embedded into R∞$\mathbb {R}^\infty$ and equipped with a tangential (X,ξ)$(X,\xi)$ ‐structure) that ...

Untwisting Topological Field Theories [PDF]
Gauge Theories, Applied Supersymmetry and Quantum Gravity II, 1996 A method is presented by which a hidden N=2 superconformal symmetry can be exhibited in a string theory or indeed in a topological conformal field theory.

Perturbing Topological Field Theories [PDF]
Physical Review D, 1999 The abelian Chern-Simons theory is perturbed by introducing local gauge-invariant interaction terms depending on the curvature. The computation of the correlation function of two Wilson lines for two smooth closed nonintersecting curves is reported up to

On Dubrovin Topological Field Theories [PDF]
Modern Physics Letters A, 1993 I show that the new topological field theories recently associated by Dubrovin with each Coxeter group may be all obtained in a simple way by a ``restriction'' of the standard ADE solutions. I then study the Chebichev specializations of these topological

Orbifold Construction for Topological Field Theories [PDF]
Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra, 2018 An equivariant topological field theory is defined on a cobordism category of manifolds with principal fiber bundles for a fixed (finite) structure group. We provide a geometric construction which for any given morphism $G \to H$ of finite groups assigns
