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.

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

Particle Content in Topological Field Theories [PDF]

Modern Physics Letters A, 1992
By demanding that the path integral measure of topological field theories be metric independent, we can derive powerful constraints on the particle content of a topological field theory as well as on the dimensionality of space-time.Comment: 9p, OUTP-92 ...

Cyclic Foam Topological Field Theories

Journal of Geometry and Physics, 2009
This paper proposes an axiomatic for Cyclic Foam Topological Field theories. That is Topological Field theories, corresponding to String theories, where particles are arbitrary graphs.

Topological Field Theories and Duality [PDF]

Physics Letters B, 1996
Topologically non trivial effects appearing in the discussion of duality transformations in higher genus manifolds are discussed in a simple example, and their relation with the properties of Topological Field Theories is established.Comment: 7 pages ...

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.

Constrained topological field theory [PDF]

Physics Letters B, 1994
We derive a model of constrained topological gravity, a theory recently introduced by us through the twist of N=2 Liouville theory, starting from the general BRST algebra and imposing the moduli space constraint as a gauge fixing. To do this, it is necessary to introduce a formalism that allows a careful treatment of the global and the local degrees of

How planar superconductors cure their infrared divergences

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022
Planar superconductors, emerging in thin films with thickness comparable to the superconducting coherence length, differ crucially from their bulk counterparts.
