Abstract
We consider a TFT on the product of a manifold with an interval, together with a topological and a non-topological boundary condition imposed at the two respective ends. The resulting (in general higher gauge) field theory is non-topological, with different choices of the topological conditions leading to field theories dual to each other. In particular, we recover the electric-magnetic duality, the Poisson-Lie T-duality, and we obtain new higher analogues thereof.
