TOPOLOGICAL FIELD THEORIES AND THE PERIOD INTEGRALS [PDF]

open access: yesModern Physics Letters A, 1993
We discuss topological Landau-Ginzburg theories coupled to two-dimensional topological gravity. We point out that the basic recursion relations for correlation functions of the two-dimensional gravity have exactly the same form as the Gauss-Manin differential equations for the period integrals of superpotentials.

Localization and Dualities in Three Dimensional Superconformal Field Theories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In this thesis we apply the technique of localization to three-dimensional N=2 superconformal field theories. We consider both theories which are exactly superconformal, and those which are believed to flow to nontrivial superconformal fixed points, for

Aspects of supersymmetric field theories in four and six dimensions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
PhDSupersymmetry is an important concept in modern high energy physics. It has found many applications in theoretical considerations of supersymmetric gauge theories as well as in phenomenological approaches to physics beyond the Standard Model.

A note on entanglement edge modes in Chern Simons theory

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2018
We elaborate on the extended Hilbert space factorization of Chern Simons theory and show how this arises naturally from a proper regularization of the entangling surface in the Euclidean path integral.

Topological defects in conformal field theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
openThis thesis objective is to characterize the topological defects of a particular two dimensional conformal quantum field theory. Topological defects can be interpreted as generalizations of global symmetries and, between other things, give rise to ...

Aspects of Topological String Theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Two aspects of the topological string and its applications are considered in this thesis. Firstly, non-perturbative contributions to the OSV conjecture relating four-dimensional extremal black holes and the closed topological string partition function ...

Localization of Gauge Theories on the Three-Sphere [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We describe the application of localization techniques to the path integral for supersymmetric gauge theories in three dimensions. The localization procedure reduces the computation of the expectation value of BPS observables to a calculation in a matrix

The topology of Double Field Theory [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2018
Abstract We describe the doubled space of Double Field Theory as a group manifold G with an arbitrary generalized metric. Local information from the latter is not relevant to our discussion and so G only captures the topology of the doubled space. Strong Constraint solutions are maximal isotropic submanifold M in G.
