Topological Quantum Field Theory: A Progress Report
J. M. F. Labastida
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…
A Relation Between the Kauffman and the HOMFLY Polynomials for Torus Knots
J. M. F. Labastida, E. Perez
Polynomial invariants corresponding to the fundamental representation of the gauge group are computed for arbitrary torus knots in the framework of Chern-Simons gauge theor…
Polynomial Invariants for SU(2) Monopoles
J. M. F. Labastida, M. Mariño
We present an explicit expression for the topological invariants associated to monopoles in the fundamental representation on spin four-manifolds. The computation of these…
Vassiliev Invariants for Torus Knots
M. Alvarez, J. M. F. Labastida
Vassiliev invariants up to order six for arbitrary torus knots , with and coprime integers, are computed. These invariants are polynomials in and whose…
Non-Abelian Monopoles on Four-Manifolds
J. M. F. Labastida, M. Mariño
We present a non-abelian generalization of Witten monopole equations and we analyze the associated moduli problem, which can be regarded as a generalization of Donaldson theory. Th…
A TOPOLOGICAL LAGRANGIAN FOR MONOPOLES ON FOUR-MANIFOLDS
J. M. F. Labastida, M. Mariño
We present a topological quantum field theory which corresponds to the moduli problem associated to Witten's monopole equations for four-manifolds. The construction of the theory i…
