Duality of generalized Maxwell theories as an equivalence in derived geometry
Chris Elliott, Owen Gwilliam, Ingmar Saberi +1
We propose a non-perturbative description of the moduli spaces encoding p-form generalized Maxwell theories in any dimension, using derived differential geometry. Our approach synt…
Remarks on the locality of generalized global symmetries
Owen Gwilliam
We examine generalized global symmetries as a kind of compactly supported cohomology, and so are led to revisit questions about the locality of quantum field theory, following Sega…
Framed -Algebras from Quantum Field Theory
Chris Elliott, Owen Gwilliam
This paper addresses the following question: given a topological quantum field theory on built from an action functional, when is it possible to globalize the theory…
Higher Deformation Quantization for Kapustin-Witten Theories
Chris Elliott, Owen Gwilliam, Brian R Williams
We pursue a uniform quantization of all twists of 4-dimensional N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, using the BV formalism, and we explore consequences for factorization algebr…
A one-loop exact quantization of Chern-Simons theory
Owen Gwilliam, Brian R. Williams
We examine Chern-Simons theory as a deformation of a 3-dimensional BF theory that is partially holomorphic and partially topological. In particular, we introduce a novel gauge that…
