    Superconformal current algebras and topological field theories

    Full text link
    Topological conformal field theories based on superconformal current algebras are constructed. The models thus obtained are the supersymmetric version of the G/GG/G coset theories. Their topological conformal algebra is generated by operators of dimensions 11, 22 and 33 and can be regarded as an extension of the twisted N=2N=2 superconformal algebra. These models possess an extended supersymmetry whose generators are exact in the topological BRST cohomology.Comment: 16 pages, phyzzx, US-FT-11/9

    [EN] Quantum-gravity corrections (in the form of a minimal length) to the Feynman propagator for a free scalar particle in R-D are shown to be the result of summing over all dimensions D '>= D of R-D ', each summand taken in the absence of quantum gravityThe research of E.C. was funded by grant CU 338/1-1 from Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (Germany).

    On the WDVV Equation and M-Theory

    Get PDF
    A wide class of Seiberg-Witten models constructed by M-theory techniques and described by non-hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces are shown to possess an associative algebra of holomorphic differentials. This is a first step towards proving that also these models satisfy the Witten-Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde equation. In this way, similar results known for simpler Seiberg-Witten models (described by hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces and constructed without recourse to M-theory) are extended to certain non-hyperelliptic cases constructed in M-theory. Our analysis reveals a connection between the algebra of holomorphic differentials on the Riemann surface and the configuration of M-theory branes of the corresponding Seiberg-Witten model.Comment: 30 pages, Latex, some corrections made, refs adde

    Higher Order Terms in the Melvin-Morton Expansion of the Colored Jones Polynomial

    Full text link
    We formulate a conjecture about the structure of `upper lines' in the expansion of the colored Jones polynomial of a knot in powers of (q-1). The Melvin-Morton conjecture states that the bottom line in this expansion is equal to the inverse Alexander polynomial of the knot. We conjecture that the upper lines are rational functions whose denominators are powers of the Alexander polynomial. We prove this conjecture for torus knots and give experimental evidence that it is also true for other types of knots.Comment: 21 pages, 1 figure, LaTe

    Coset Constructions in Chern-Simons Gauge Theory

    Full text link
    Coset constructions in the framework of Chern-Simons topological gauge theories are studied. Two examples are considered: models of the types U(1)p×U(1)qU(1)p+q≅U(1)pq(p+q){U(1)_p\times U(1)_q\over U(1)_{p+q}}\cong U(1)_{pq(p+q)} with pp and qq coprime integers, and SU(2)m×SU(2)1SU(2)m+1{SU(2)_m\times SU(2)_1\over SU(2)_{m+1}}. In the latter case it is shown that the Chern-Simons wave functionals can be identified with t he characters of the minimal unitary models, and an explicit representation of the knot (Verlinde) operators acting on the space of c<1c<1 characters is obtained.Comment: 15 page

    Hyperbolic space in the Newtonian limit: The cosmological constant
