A New Look At The Path Integral Of Quantum Mechanics
Edward Witten
The Feynman path integral of ordinary quantum mechanics is complexified and it is shown that possible integration cycles for this complexified integral are associated with branes i…
An Algebraic Construction of Boundary Quantum Field Theory
Roberto Longo, Edward Witten
We build up local, time translation covariant Boundary Quantum Field Theory nets of von Neumann algebras A_V on the Minkowski half-plane M_+ starting with a local conformal net A o…
The Omega Deformation, Branes, Integrability, and Liouville Theory
Nikita Nekrasov, Edward Witten
We reformulate the Omega-deformation of four-dimensional gauge theory in a way that is valid away from fixed points of the associated group action. We use this reformulation togeth…
Analytic Continuation Of Chern-Simons Theory
Edward Witten
The title of this article refers to analytic continuation of three-dimensional Chern-Simons gauge theory away from integer values of the usual coupling parameter k, to explore ques…
