Gravity from topological field theory [PDF]
Physical Review D, 1999 We construct a topological field theory which, on the one hand, generalizes BF theories in that there is non-trivial coupling to `topological matter fields'; and, on the other, generalizes the three-dimensional model of Carlip and Gegenberg to arbitrary dimensional manifolds.

TBA equations and resurgent Quantum Mechanics
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 We derive a system of TBA equations governing the exact WKB periods in one-dimensional Quantum Mechanics with arbitrary polynomial potentials. These equations provide a generalization of the ODE/IM correspondence, and they can be regarded as the solution

Holomorphic Anomalies in Topological Field Theories [PDF]
, 1993 We study the stringy genus one partition function of $N=2$ SCFT's. It is shown how to compute this using an anomaly in decoupling of BRST trivial states from the partition function.

Homological classification of topological terms in sigma models on homogeneous spaces
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 We classify the topological terms (in a sense to be made precise) that may appear in a non-linear sigma model based on maps from an arbitrary worldvolume manifold to a homogeneous space G/H (where G is an arbitrary Lie group and H ⊂ G).

Exotic field theories for (hybrid) fracton phases from imposing constraints in foliated field theory
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 Fracton phases of matter are gapped phases of matter that, by dint of their sensitivity to UV data, demand non-standard quantum field theories to describe them in the IR. Two such approaches are foliated quantum theory and exotic field theory.

Effective Quantum Field Theory for the Thermodynamical Bethe Ansatz
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We construct an effective Quantum Field Theory for the wrapping effects in 1+1 dimensional models of factorised scattering. The recently developed graph-theoretical approach to TBA gives the perturbative desctiption of this QFT.

Spinfoam models for M-theory [PDF]
, 2001 We use the approach to generate spin foam models by an auxiliary field theory defined on a group manifold (as recently developed in quantum gravity and quantization of BF-theories) in the context of topological quantum field theories with a 3-form field ...

TOPOLOGICAL MATTER, MIRROR SYMMETRY AND NON-CRITICAL (SUPER)STRINGS [PDF]
, 1995 We study the realization of the (super) conformal topological symmetry in two-dimensional field theories. The mirror automorphism of the topological algebra is represented as a reflection in the space of fields.

From topological to quantum entanglement
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 Entanglement is a special feature of the quantum world that reflects the existence of subtle, often non-local, correlations between local degrees of freedom. In topological theories such non-local correlations can be given a very intuitive interpretation:
