Homology in Abelian Lattice Models
Mark Rakowski, Siddhartha Sen
We study abelian lattice gauge theory defined on a simplicial complex with arbitrary topology. The use of dual objects allows one to reformulate the theory in terms of new dynamica…

Subdivision Analysis of Topological Lattice Gauge Theory
D. Birmingham, M. Rakowski
We analyze the subdivision properties of certain lattice gauge theories for the discrete abelian groups , in four dimensions. In these particular models we show that the Bol…

Subdivision Invariant Models in Lattice Gauge Theory
D. Birmingham, M. Rakowski
A class of lattice gauge theories is presented which exhibits novel topological properties. The construction is in terms of compact Wilson variables defined on a simplicial complex…
