Path integral quantisation of topological field theories

, 1990
Conditions for quantum topological invariance of classically topological field theories in the path integral formulation are discussed. Both the three-dimensional Chern-Simons system and a Witten-type topological field theory are shown to satisfy these ...

Anisotropic Phonon Dynamics and Directional Transport in Actinide Van der Waals Semiconductor Uranium Triselenide

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
USe3 is introduced as an actinide van der Waals semiconductor that mirrors the quasi‐one‐dimensional physics of transition‐metal trichalcogenides. Polarization‐resolved Raman spectroscopy on exfoliated flakes maps strong in‐plane phonon anisotropy and strain‐tunable mode shifts.

Architecture‐Driven Functional Coupling in Vertically Aligned Nanocomposites

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Vertically aligned nanocomposites define a growth‐engineered architecture in which vertical interfaces, strain fields, defect pathways, and phase connectivity are created simultaneously. This review shows how these architectural features couple ferroic, optical, ionic, electrochemical, and device responses, establishing design rules and open challenges

Topological BPS charges in 10- and 11-dimensional supergravity [PDF]

, 2010
In this thesis we construct closed expressions that correspond to the topological charges of the various BPS branes of the IIA, IIB and $D=11$ supergravity theories. These expressions are related to the structure of the SUSY algebras in curved spacetimes.

Classical mechanics as a topological field theory [PDF]

Physics Letters B, 1990
Abstract We show that our recent formulation of classical mechanics via path integrals has many features in common with Witten's topological field theories. The action of the theory is a pure BRS commutator, which arises when we “gauge-fix” the symmetry of arbitrary deformations in path space.

Ground‐State Charge‐Transfer Doping in Donor–Acceptor Semiconducting Polymers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates controlled ground‐state charge‐transfer complex formation (GS‐CTC) and doping in a series of diketopyrrolopyrrole‐based donor–acceptor semiconducting polymers paired with a π‐conjugated penta‐t‐butylpentacyanopentabenzo[25]annulene “cyanostar” macrocycle. Complementary experimental techniques show how subtle molecular, electronic,

Galois conjugation and multiboundary entanglement entropy

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020
We revisit certain natural algebraic transformations on the space of 3D topological quantum field theories (TQFTs) called “Galois conjugations.” Using a notion of multiboundary entanglement entropy (MEE) defined for TQFTs on compact 3-manifolds with ...

Chemical Strategies for Multistimuli Responsive Dynamic Covalent Materials in Regenerative Medicine

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Multistimuli responsive dynamic covalent materials integrate reversible chemistry with the complex chemical, mechanical, and biochemical cues of regenerative environments. This review highlights chemical strategies based on orthogonal dynamic bonds, multicomponent networks, and hierarchical architectures to regulate mechanics, degradation, and ...

On the topological charges of the affine toda solitons [PDF]

, 1994
This thesis investigates the two dimensional, integrable field theories known as the affine Toda field theories, which are based on the Kac-Moody algebras with zero central extension.

Invertible topological field theories

Journal of Topology
AbstractA ‐dimensional invertible topological field theory (TFT) is a functor from the symmetric monoidal ‐category of ‐bordisms (embedded into and equipped with a tangential ‐structure) that lands in the Picard subcategory of the target symmetric monoidal ‐category.
