Twists and Gorms and Antifields, oh my!
Alex S. Arvanitakis
I define topological twists of supersymmetric field theories in the case when the supercharges involved obey an ``open'' algebra. Using the Batalin-Vilkovisky field-antifield forma…
Homotopy Manin Theories: Generalising Third-Way, Yang-Mills and Integrable Sigma Models
Alex S. Arvanitakis, Leron Borsten, Dimitri Kanakaris +1
Manin theories are a class of non-topological deformations of Chern-Simons theories that naturally realise the third-way mechanism and furthermore admit localisation despite not be…
On topological defects in Chern-Simons theory
Alex S. Arvanitakis, Lewis T. Cole, Saskia Demulder +1
We construct a new class of topological surface defects in Chern-Simons theory with non-compact, non-Abelian gauge groups. These defects are characterized by isotropic subalgebras…
Localisation without supersymmetry: towards exact results from Dirac structures in 3D gauge theory
Alex S. Arvanitakis, Dimitri Kanakaris
We show, by introducing purely auxiliary gluinos and scalars, that the quantum path integral for a class of 3D interacting non-supersymmetric gauge theories localises. The theories…
Brane wrapping, AKSZ sigma models, and QP manifolds
Alex S. Arvanitakis, David Tennyson
We introduce a technique to realise brane wrapping and double dimensional reduction in the context of AKSZ topological sigma models and also in their target spaces, which are sympl…
Topological defects as lagrangian correspondences
Alex S. Arvanitakis
Topological defects attract much recent interest in high-energy and condensed matter physics because they encode (non-invertible) symmetries and dualities. We study codimension-1 t…
