abstract

The article is devoted to a quantum field theory explanation of the relationship (noticed some years ago by Gepner) between the Verlinde algebra of the group $U(k)$ at level $N-k$ and the cohomology of the Grassmannian. The argument proceeds by starting with the two dimensional sigma model whose target space is the Grassmannian and integrating out some fields in a standard way. It has long been known that the resulting low energy effective action describes a theory with a mass gap; the novelty here is that this theory in fact is equivalent at long distances to a gauged WZW model of $U(k)/U(k)$, and hence is related to the Verlinde algebra.

Non-Invertible Anyon Condensation and Level-Rank Dualities

hep-th · 2023-12-26 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

New dualities in 3d TQFTs are derived via non-invertible anyon condensation, generalizing level-rank dualities and providing new presentations for parafermion theories, c=1 orbifolds, and SU(2)_N.

Hyperfunctions in $A$-model Localization

hep-th · 2025-09-30 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Derives a distributional real-line integral formula for abelian observables in A-twisted N=(2,2) theories on S², verifies it on the CP^{N-1} GLSM correlator, and uses hyperfunctions to equate it with contour integrals matching the Jeffrey-Kirwan prescription.
