Abstract
In super Yang-Mills theory on a four-manifold , one can specify a discrete magnetic flux valued in . This flux is encoded in the AdS/CFT correspondence in terms of a five-dimensional topological field theory with Chern-Simons action. A similar topological field theory in seven dimensions governs the space of ``conformal blocks'' of the six-dimensional conformal field theory.
