The Physics Inside Topological Quantum Field Theories

High Energy Physics - Theory 2010-04-06 v1

Abstract

We show that the equations of motion defined over a specific field space are realizable as operator conditions in the physical sector of a generalized Floer theory defined over that field space. The ghosts associated with such a construction are found not to be dynamical. This construction is applied to gravity on a four dimensional manifold, MM; whereupon, we obtain Einstein's equations via surgery, along MM, in a five-dimensional topological quantum field theory.
