We use the topological quantum field theory description of states in Chern-Simons theory to discuss the relation between spacetime connectivity and entanglement, exploring the paradigm entanglement=topology. We define a special class of…
Twisted supergravity is supergravity in a background where the bosonic ghost field takes a non-zero value. This is the supergravity counterpart of the familiar concept of twisting supersymmetric field theories. In this paper, we give…
We extend the system of ungauged N=2, d=4 supergravity coupled to vector multiplets and hypermultiplets with 2-form potentials. The maximal number of 2-form potentials that one may introduce is equal to the number of isometries of either…
If $a$ is a densely defined sectorial form in a Hilbert space which is possibly not closable, then we associate in a natural way a holomorphic semigroup generator with $a$. This allows us to remove in several theorems of semigroup theory…
Bound, antibound and resonance states are associated to poles in the on-shell partial wave amplitudes. We show here that from the residues of the pole a rank 1 projection operator associated with any of these states can be extracted, in…
We re-examine physical state representations in the covariant quantization of bosonic string. We especially consider one parameter family of gauge fixing conditions for the residual gauge symmetry due to null states (or BRST exact states),…
Let k be a non archimedean field. If X is a k-algebraic variety and U a locally closed semi-algebraic subset of X^{an} -- the Berkovich space associated to X -- we show that for l \neq char(\tilde{k}), the cohomology groups H^i_c (\bar{U},…
The motion of neutral particles with magnetic moments in an inhomogeneous magnetic field is described in a semi-classical framework. The concept of Coherent Internal States is used in the formulation of the semiclassical approximation from…
We extend the formalism of Hamiltonian string bit models of quantum gravity type in two spacetime dimensions to include couplings to particles. We find that the single-particle closed and open universe models respectively behave like empty…
Based on the Temperley--Lieb algebra we define a class of one-dimensional Hamiltonians with nearest and next-nearest neighbour interactions. Using the regular representation we give ground states of this model as words of the algebra. Two…
We present a conjectural description of the space of local operators on a stack of finitely many fivebranes in $M$ theory at the level of the holomorphic twist. Our approach is through the lens of twisted holography and utilizes a…
This paper classifies separated bounding pairs for Lagrangian submanifolds that are homologically trivial inside the ambient space, under the assumption that restriction on cohomology from the ambient space to the Lagrangian is surjective.…
We argue that the holographic formula relating entanglement entropy and the area of a minimal surface is the key to define the area of surfaces in the (emergent) spacetime from the dual theory on the boundary. So we promote the entropy/area…
We consider a particular class of sesquilinear forms on a {Banach quasi *-algebra} $(\A[\|.\|],\Ao[\|.\|_0])$ which we call {\em eigenstates of an element} $a\in\A$, and we deduce some of their properties. We further apply our definition to…
Let $R$ be semiperfect commutative Noetherian ring and $C$ be a semidualizing $R$--module. The connection of the Serre condition $(S_n)$ on a horizontally linked $R$-module of finite $\gc$-dimension with the vanishing of certain cohomology…
Non-BPS D-branes are difficult to describe covariantly in a manifestly supersymmetric formalism. For definiteness we concentrate on type IIB string theory in flat background in light-cone Green-Schwarz formalism. We study both the boundary…
This expository paper describes sewing conditions in two-dimensional open/closed topological field theory. We include a description of the G-equivariant case, where G is a finite group. We determine the category of boundary conditions in…
The loop quantum gravity technique is applied to the free bosonic string. A Hilbert space similar to loop space in loop quantum gravity as well as representations of diffeomorphism and hamiltonian constraints on it are constructed. The…
We identify and examine a generalization of topological sigma models suitable for coupling to topological open strings. The targets are Kahler manifolds with a real structure, i.e. with an involution acting as a complex conjugation,…
In this manuscript, we consider cobordism operations in the $2$-dimensional labeled open-closed topological quantum field theory for the classifying space of a connected compact Lie group in the sense of Guldberg. In particular, it is…
