Geometric BV for twisted Courant sigma models and the BRST power finesse
Athanasios Chatzistavrakidis, Noriaki Ikeda, Larisa Jonke
We study twisted Courant sigma models, a class of topological field theories arising from the coupling of 3D 0-/2-form BF theory and Chern-Simons theory and containing a 4-form Wes…

Basic curvature and the Atiyah cocycle in gauge theory
Athanasios Chatzistavrakidis, Larisa Jonke
Motivated from target space covariant formulations of topological sigma models and from a graded-geometric approach to higher gauge theory, we study connections on Lie and Courant…
