The topology of Double Field Theory [PDF]
Journal 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.

On topological field theories and duality [PDF]
Physics Letters B, 1997 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.

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.

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:

Twistor constructions for higher-spin extensions of (self-dual) Yang-Mills
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We present the inverse Penrose transform (the map from spacetime to twistor space) for self-dual Yang-Mills (SDYM) and its higher-spin extensions on a flat background.

PARTICLE CONTENT IN TOPOLOGICAL FIELD THEORIES [PDF]
Modern Physics Letters A, 1994 By demanding that the path-integral measure of the 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. We also relate this metric independence to the number of degrees of freedom in the theory.

Ising-like and Fibonacci anyons from KZ-equations
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 In this work we present solutions to Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov (KZ) equations corresponding to conformal block wavefunctions of non-Abelian Ising-like and Fibonacci Anyons.

SPIN TOPOLOGICAL QUANTUM FIELD THEORIES [PDF]
International Journal of Mathematics, 1998 Starting from the quantum group [Formula: see text], we construct operator invariants of 3-cobordisms with spin structure, satisfying the requirements of a topological quantum field theory and refining the Reshetikhin–Turaev and Turaev–Viro models. We establish the relationship between these two refined theories.

Topological Field Theory [PDF]
Physics Reports, 1991 The fundamental problem facing string theory at present is our inability to select its true vacuum nonperturbatively. Until the true string vacuum can be discovered, it is impossible to determine whether the theory predicts nonsense, and must be discarded as yet another failed attempt at a unified field theory, or gives a valid description of our ...
