We define a notion of stability for chiral ring of four dimensional N=1 theory by introducing test chiral rings and generalized a maximization. We conjecture that a chiral ring is the chiral ring of a superconformal field theory if and only if it is stable. We then study N=1 field theory derived from D3 branes probing …

Anomaly in free fermion theory revealed in functorial field theory.
Bayesian optimization helps find best nuclear interaction parameters.
Given a two-dimensional quantum field theory with (0,2) supersymmetry, one can construct a chiral (or vertex) algebra. The chiral algebra of a (0,2) supersymmetric sigma model is, perturbatively, the cohomology of a sheaf of chiral differential operators on a string Kähler manifold. However, it vanishes in some cases w…
The paper explores how non-Killing fields on internal spaces can produce massive gauge fields with chiral interactions.
3D dual field theories for Virasoro minimal models constructed using Seifert fiber spaces.
WZW models are abstract conformal field theories with an infinite dimensional symmetry which accounts for their integrability, and at the same time they have a sigma model description of closed string propagation on group manifolds which, in turn, endows the models with an intuitive geometric meaning. We exploit this d…
Develops a braid-theoretic framework to analyze chirality in molecular knots.
The reduction problem of the chiral field equation on symmetric spaces is studied. It is shown that the symmetric chiral field has infinitely many local conservation laws. A recursive formula for these conservation laws is derived and the first associated integral of motion are given explicitly. Furthermore, the Zakhar…

Paper restricts chirally cosmetic surgeries on knots.
We discuss the chiral anomaly for a Weyl field in a curved background and show that a novel index theorem for the Lorentzian Dirac operator can be applied to describe the gravitational chiral anomaly. A formula for the total charge generated by the gravitational and gauge field background is derived in a mathematically…
The chiral de Rham complex of Malikov, Schechtman, and Vaintrob, is a sheaf of differential graded vertex algebras that exists on any smooth manifold , and contains the ordinary de Rham complex at weight zero. Given a closed 3-form on , we construct the twisted chiral de Rham differential , which coincid…

We show that the Hilbert space formed from a block spin renormalization construction of a cyclic quantum spin chain (based on the Temperley-Lieb algebra) does not support a chiral conformal field theory whose Hamiltonian generates translation on the circle as a continuous limit of the rotations on the lattice.
Authors compute anomalies for fermions in 3, 4, and 5 dimensions.
We explore the nonperturbative aspects of the chiral algebras of N = (0,2) sigma models, which perturbatively are intimately related to the theory of chiral differential operators (CDOs). The grading by charge and scaling dimension is anomalous if the first Chern class of the target space is nonzero. This has some nont…
Chirality affects the curvature of molecular networks, influencing their shape and stability.
Paper connects 3D gravity averages to 2D CFT correlators.
We construct a new equivariant cohomology theory for a certain class of differential vertex algebras, which we call the chiral equivariant cohomology. A principal example of a differential vertex algebra in this class is the chiral de Rham complex of Malikov-Schechtman-Vaintrob of a manifold with a group action. The ma…
This is the second in a series of papers on a new equivariant cohomology that takes values in a vertex algebra. In an earlier paper, the first two authors gave a construction of the cohomology functor on the category of O(sg) algebras. The new cohomology theory can be viewed as a kind of "chiralization'' of the classic…

In this paper, we study the perturbative aspects of the half-twisted variant of Witten's topological A-model coupled to a non-dynamical gauge field with Kahler target space X being a G-manifold.

We construct a global geometric model for the bosonic sector and Killing spinor equations of four-dimensional supergravity coupled to a chiral non-linear sigma model and a Spin structure. The model involves a Lorentzian metric on a four-manifold , a complex chiral spinor and a map $\varph…
In this paper we address several aspects of flat Bogomolnyi-Prasad-Sommerfeld (BPS) domain walls together with their Lorentz invariant vacua of 4d N=1 supergravity coupled to a chiral multiplet. The scalar field spans a one-parameter family of 2d Kähler manifolds satisfying a Kähler-Ricci flow equation. We find that BP…
We study a twisted Alexander polynomial naturally associated to a hyperbolic knot in an integer homology 3-sphere via a lift of the holonomy representation to SL(2, C). It is an unambiguous symmetric Laurent polynomial whose coefficients lie in the trace field of the knot. It contains information about genus, fibering,…

According to our previous results, the conjugacy class of the involution induced by the complex conjugation in the homology of a real non-singular cubic fourfold determines the fourfold up to projective equivalence and deformation. Here, we show how to eliminate the projective equivalence and to obtain a pure deformati…
We use techniques from functorial quantum field theory to provide a geometric description of the parity anomaly in fermionic systems coupled to background gauge and gravitational fields on odd-dimensional spacetimes. We give an explicit construction of a geometric cobordism bicategory which incorporates general backgro…
