U(1) spin Chern-Simons theory and Arf invariants in two dimensions

Takuya Okuda, Koichi Saito, Shuichi Yokoyama

The level-k U(1) Chern-Simons theory is a spin topological quantum field theory for k odd. Its dynamics is captured by the 2d CFT of a compact boson with a certain radius. Recently…

Interface entropy in four dimensions as Calabi's diastasis on the conformal manifold

Kanato Goto, Takuya Okuda

We conjecture an equality between (1) the entropy associated with a Janus interface in a 4d N=2 superconformal field theory and (2) Calabi's diastasis, a particular combination of…

Scheme dependence of instanton counting in ALE spaces

Yuto Ito, Kazunobu Maruyoshi, Takuya Okuda

There have been two distinct schemes studied in the literature for instanton counting in A_{p-1} asymptotically locally Euclidean (ALE) spaces. We point out that the two schemes---…
