[hep-th/9511037] Topological Quantum Field Theory: A Progress Report
A brief introduction to Topological Quantum Field Theory as well as a description of recent progress made in the field is presented. I concentrate mainly on the connection between Chern-Simons gauge theory and Vassiliev invariants, and Donaldson theory and its generalizations and Seiberg-Witten invariants. Emphasis is made on the usefulness of these relations to obtain explicit expressions for topological invariants, and on the universal structure underlying both systems.

Extractions: An ionic theory which is an offshoot of electrostatic theory. It ignores all covalent bonding effects. It was developed by Hans Bethe in 1929 by applying group theory and quantum mechanics to electrostatic theory. It was further developed by physicists during the 1930s and 1940s. It can be used to predict chemical properties, kinetic properties, reaction mechanisms, magnetic and spectral properties, and thermodynamic data. It cannot, however, be applied to sulfides, since sulfide forms mainly covalent bonds A splitting of energy levels ("crystal field splitting") occurs because the orientation of the d orbital wavefunctions will increase an electron's energy when the orbital is located in a region of high electron density, and lower it when the reverse is true. In crystals, the and orbitals split up as depicted below, depending on their cation's coordination. The total energy splitting is termed the crystal field stabilization energy. may be estimated from

Extractions: the energy-momentum and space-time are dual coordinates that live and get projected from that topological space which represents the invariant arena in which physical interactions take place. In quantum theory we have an abstract mathematical image of that quantum manifold in the form of an antilinear-bilinear form; the complete Dirac bracket, Quantum space provides a consistent mathematical scheme to incorporate both theory of relativity represented by a space-time manifold and quantum mechanics represented by a quantum dynamical variable that is non- commutative with the manifold. The manifold and quantum dynamics are connected in a mathematical manner similar to the way vectors and their dual vectors are connected in the theory of functional spaces. The relativistic manifold is extended into a quantum manifold that incorporates quantum dynamics, and commutation relations

Extractions: Science and technology news June 25, 2010 By Bob Sanders Enlarge Two opposed laser beams, identical except for polarization, attempt to excite forbidden two-photon transitions in a beam of barium atoms. (Image Damon English) (PhysOrg.com) Of all the assumptions underlying quantum mechanics and the theory that describes how particles interact at the most elementary level, perhaps the most basic is that particles are either bosons or fermions. Bosons, such as the particles of light called photons, play by one set of rules; fermions, including electrons, play by another. Seven years ago, University of California, Berkeley, physicists asked a fundamental and potentially disturbing question: Do bosons sometimes play by fermion rules? Specifically, do photons act like bosons all the time, or could they sometimes act like fermions? Based on the results of their experiment to test this possibility, published June 25 in the journal Physical Review Letters , the answer is a solid �no.�

http://www.maths.nott.ac.uk/personal/jwb/qg.html

Extractions: Up to home page Quantum gravity is the study of theories which incorporate known gravitational and quantum phenomena. This usually involves the assumption that gravity is itself a quantum phenomenon. This can be studied by considering the more general class of quantum field theories which exhibit general covariance. This subject is called topological quantum field theory , or TQFT. Quantum gravity was originally studied, by Dirac and others, as the problem of quantising general relativity, considered as a dynamical system. This approach has many difficulties, detailed by Isham in The newer approach consists of abandoning the idea of general relativity as a dynamical system, and considering instead the quantum field theory of manifolds . In particle physics, the ideal is that each Lorentzian or Riemannian manifold gives rise to a law of propagation of quantum fields, once the internal structure is specified (gauge group, fields, interactions). The isometries of the space become symmetries of the quantum field theory. In a TQFT, each manifold gives rise to a quantum propagation law. The mappings of manifolds are symmetries of this theory. In this way, quantum gravity is

Authors: A.G.Grozin (Submitted on 16 Aug 1999) Abstract: Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET) is a new approach to QCD problems involving a heavy quark. In the leading approximation, the heavy quark is considered as a static source of the gluon field; 1/m corrections can be systematically included in the perturbation theory. New symmetry properties not apparent in QCD appear in HQET. They are used, in particular, to obtain relations among heavy hadron form factors. HQET also simplifies lattice simulation and sum rules analysis of heavy hadrons. Comments: Old preprint.

Authors: Gerhard Ecker (Submitted on 23 Jan 1995) Abstract: The main elements and methods of chiral perturbation theory, the effective field theory of the Standard Model below the scale of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking, are summarized. Applications to the interactions of mesons and baryons at low energies are reviewed, with special emphasis on developments of the last three years. Among the topics covered are the strong, electromagnetic and semileptonic weak interactions of mesons at and beyond nexttoleading order in the chiral expansion, nonleptonic weak interactions of mesons, virtual photon corrections and the mesonbaryon system. The discussion is limited to processes at zero temperature, for infinite volume and with at most one baryon.
