A A BV algebra and a QP-structure of degree 3 is formulated. A QP-structure of degree 3 gives rise to Lie algebroids up to homotopy and its algebraic and geometric structure is analyzed. A new algebroid is constructed, which derives a new…

The noncritical $D=4$ $W_3$ string is a model of $W_3$ gravity coupled to two free scalar fields. In this paper we discuss its BRST quantization in direct analogy with that of the $D=2$ (Virasoro) string. In particular, we calculate the…

We demonstrate that a supersymmetric theory twisted on a K\"ahler four manifold $M=\Sigma_1 \times \Sigma_2 ,$ where $\Sigma_{1,2}$ are 2D Riemann surfaces, possesses a "left-moving" conformal stress tensor on $\Sigma_1$ ($\Sigma_2$) in the…

Topological field theories of Schwarz-type generally admit symmetries whose algebra does not close off-shell, e.g. the basic symmetries of BF models or vector supersymmetry of the gauge-fixed action for Chern-Simons theory (this symmetry…

We discuss in detail the construction of topological field theories using the Batalin--Vilkovisky (BV) quantisation scheme. By carefully examining the dependence of the antibracket on an external metric, we show that differentiating with…

In this work we performed density functional theory calculations for a twisted bilayer graphene (BLG). Several conmensurable rotation angles were analyzed and for each one a constant height mode STM image was obtained. These STM images,…

Starting from the dual action of $(4,4)$ $2D$ twisted multiplets in the harmonic superspace with two independent sets of $SU(2)$ harmonic variables, we present its generalization which hopefully provides an off-shell description of general…

We construct a formal global quantization of the Poisson Sigma Model in the BV-BFV formalism using the perturbative quantization of AKSZ theories on manifolds with boundary and analyze the properties of the boundary BFV operator. Moreover,…

We revisit our earlier work on the AKSZ formulation of topological sigma model on generalized complex manifolds, or Hitchin model. We show that the target space geometry geometry implied by the BV master equations is…

We derive the off-shell nilpotent and absolutely anticommuting Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) and anti-BRST symmetry transformations, corresponding to the (1-form) Yang-Mills (YM) and (2-form) tensorial gauge symmetries of the four (3 +…

We construct new topological theories related to sigma models whose target space is a seven dimensional manifold of G_2 holonomy. We define a new type of topological twist and identify the BRST operator and the physical states. Unlike the…

We describe the topological $A$ and $B$ twists of 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ theories of hypermultiplets gauged by $\mathcal{N}=4$ vector multiplets as certain deformations of the holomorphic-topological ($HT$) twist of those theories, utilizing…

We study the large $N$ limit of twisted partition functions on $\mathcal{M}_{g,p}$, the $S^1$ bundle of degree $p$ over a Riemann surface of genus $g$, for 3D $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories arising as low-energy limit of…

The Alexandrov-Kontsevich-Schwarz-Zaboronsky (AKSZ) construction encodes all the data of a topological sigma-model in the finite-dimensional symplectic $Q$-manifold. Relaxing the nondegeneracy condition i.e. considering a presymplectic form…

We derive nilpotent and absolutely anticommuting (anti-)co-BRST symmetry transformations for the bosonized version of (1+1)-dimensional (2D) vector Schwinger model. These symmetry transformations turn out to be the analogue of co-exterior…

We consider a class of $N=2$ supersymmetric non--unitary theories in two--dimensional Minkowski spacetime which admit classical solitonic solutions. We show how these models can be twisted into a topological sector whose energy--momentum…

For a class of first order gauge theories it was shown that the proper solution of the BV-master equation can be obtained straightforwardly. Here we present the general condition which the gauge generators should satisfy to conclude that…

We apply the BV formalism to non-commutative field theories, introduce BRST symmetry, and gauge-fix the models. Interestingly, we find that treating the full gauge symmetry in non-commutative models can lead to reducible gauge algebras. As…

It is well-known that the algebra of vector fields on the circle acts on the space of Riemann surfaces with a marked point and a local parameter at this point. We show that this action has a natural realization in the soliton theory, indeed…

Including world-sheet orientation-reversing automorphisms in the orbifold program, we recently reported the twisted operator algebra and twisted KZ equations in each open-string sector of the general WZW orientation orbifold. In this paper…
