From String Backgrounds to Topological Field Theories
Bong H. Lian, Gregg J. Zuckerman
The BRST formalism has played a fundamental role in the construction of bosonic closed string backgrounds, ie. the stringy analogs of classical solutions to the field equations of…
Algebraic and Geometric Structures in String Backgrounds
Bong H. Lian, Gregg J. Zuckerman
We give a brief introduction to the study of the algebraic structures -- and their geometrical interpretations -- which arise in the BRST construction of a conformal string backgro…
Moonshine Cohomology
Bong H. Lian, Gregg J. Zuckerman
We construct a new cohomology functor from the a certain category of {\it quantum operator algebras} to the category of {\it Batalin-Vilkovisky algebras}. This {\it Moonshine cohom…
Commutative Quantum Operator Algebras
Bong H. Lian, Gregg J. Zuckerman
A key notion bridging the gap between {\it quantum operator algebras} \cite{LZ10} and {\it vertex operator algebras} \cite{Bor}\cite{FLM} is the definition of the commutativity of…
