Gravity from topological field theory [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical 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

open access: yesJournal 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

Interacting six-dimensional topological field theories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We study the gauge-fixing and symmetries (BRST-invariance and vector supersymmetry) of various six-dimensional topological models involving Abelian or non-Abelian 2-form potentials.Comment: 11 ...

Introduction of a boundary in topological field theories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We study the consequences of the presence of a boundary in topological field theories in various dimensions. We characterize, univocally and on very general grounds, the field content and the symmetries of the actions which live on the boundary.

Homological classification of topological terms in sigma models on homogeneous spaces

open access: yesJournal 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).

Effective Quantum Field Theory for the Thermodynamical Bethe Ansatz

open access: yesJournal 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.

Exotic field theories for (hybrid) fracton phases from imposing constraints in foliated field theory

open access: yesJournal 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.

Protected gates for topological quantum field theories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We study restrictions on locality-preserving unitary logical gates for topological quantum codes in two spatial dimensions. A locality-preserving operation is one which maps local operators to local operators --- for example, a constant-depth quantum ...

Quantum 4d Yang-Mills theory and time-reversal symmetric 5d higher-gauge topological field theory [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review D, 2019
We explore various 4d Yang-Mills gauge theories (YM) living as boundary conditions of 5d gapped short-/long-range entangled (SRE/LRE) topological states.

TOPOLOGICAL MATTER, MIRROR SYMMETRY AND NON-CRITICAL (SUPER)STRINGS [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.
