Topological Gauge Theory And Twistors, V. Parameswaran Nair, Jeremy Schiff
Topological Gauge Theory And Twistors, V. Parameswaran Nair, Jeremy Schiff
Publications and Research
By use of harmonic superfields, Witten’s topological gauge theory is written as a field theory on a supertwistor space. Further, using the realisation of complex compactified Minkowski space as a quadric in CP5, we show that the theory has a simple formulation in terms of analytic superfields on super-CP5 × CP3 .
U(1) Chern-Simons Theory And C=1 Conformal Blocks, Michiel Bos, V. Parameswaran Nair
U(1) Chern-Simons Theory And C=1 Conformal Blocks, Michiel Bos, V. Parameswaran Nair
Publications and Research
The quantization of the U ( 1 ) Chern-Simons action in three dimensions is carried out in a coherent state representation. The wave functionals obtained are generating functionals for the current correlator blocks of two-dimensional c= 1 rational conformal field theories, explicitly realizing a connection found by Witten.
