Topologically twisted Yang-Mills theories and invariants of moduli spaces
Topologically twisted Yang-Mills theories and invariants of moduli spaces
Jan Manschot is Professor of Theoretical Physics at Trinity College Dublin. The Mathematical Institute is very pleased to welcome him for a guest lecture. If you wish to prepare for the lecture and get to know more of his work, many resources are available on his
Abstract: I will discuss invariants of moduli spaces of instantons on a four-manifold, and their relation to topologically twisted Yang-Mills theory. After reviewing general aspects, I will explain recent work on Segre invariants and K-theoretic Donaldson invariants, and the physical theories whose correlations functions capture these invariants.
