Quantization of algebraic invariants through Topological Quantum Field Theories [PDF]
, 2023 In this paper we investigate the problem of constructing Topological Quantum Field Theories (TQFTs) to quantize algebraic invariants. We exhibit necessary conditions for quantizability based on Euler characteristics. In the case of surfaces, also provide

Topological Quantum Field Theory and the Geometric Langlands Correspondence [PDF]
, 2013 In the pioneering work of A. Kapustin and E. Witten, the geometric Langlands program of number theory was shown to be intimately related to duality of GL-twisted N=4 super Yang-Mills theory compactified on a Riemann surface. In this thesis, we generalize

A one-dimensional theory for Higgs branch operators
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 We use supersymmetric localization to calculate correlation functions of half-BPS local operators in 3d N = 4 $$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ superconformal field theories whose Lagrangian descriptions consist of vectormultiplets coupled to hypermultiplets.

Primitive Ontology and the Structure of Fundamental Physical Theories [PDF]
, 2012 For a long time, it was believed that it was impossible to be realist about quantum mechanics. It took quite a while for the researchers in the foundations of physics, beginning with John Stuart Bell (1987), to convince others that such an alleged ...

Toric geometry and the dual of ℐ-extremization
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 We consider d = 3, N = 2 $$ \mathcal{N}=2 $$ gauge theories arising on membranes sitting at the apex of an arbitrary toric Calabi-Yau 4-fold cone singularity that are then further compactified on a Riemann surface, Σ g , with a topological twist that ...

Interpreting the Modal Kochen-Specker Theorem: Possibility and Many Worlds in Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
, 2013 In this paper we attempt to physically interpret the Modal Kochen-Specker (MKS) theorem. In order to do so, we analyze the features of the possible properties about quantum systems arising from the elements in an orthomodular lattice and distinguish the ...

Is Quantum Field Theory Necessarily “Quantum”?
Quantum ReportsThe mathematical universe of the quantum topos, which is formulated on the basis of classical Boolean snapshots, delivers a neo-realist description of quantum mechanics that preserves realism.

Topological States of Matter [PDF]
, 2012 My research program is focused on the study of elastic deformation and topological defects in two materials: graphene and topological insulators. In both systems at low energies the electrons have a nearly linear spectrum, i.e.

On the Metaphysics of Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
, 2012 What is quantum mechanics about? The most natural way to interpret quantum mechanics realistically as a theory about the world might seem to be what is called wave function ontology: the view according to which the wave function mathematically ...

From BPS spectra of Argyres-Douglas theories to families of 3d TFTs
Journal of High Energy PhysicsVertex operator algebras (VOAs) arise in protected subsectors of supersymmetric quantum field theories, notably in 4d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 superconformal field theories (SCFT) via the Schur sector and in twisted 3d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 theories via
