Topological field theories and their path integrals

Examples of topological field theories are the cohomological field theories as they were initially defined by Witten [1]. Such examples include the Donaldson-Witten theory in 4d or the Gromo-Witten th …

CohFT: Witten vs. Kontsevich and Manin

Is there any connection to CohFTs as defined by Witten in his 1988 paper (via topological twist) and the CohFTs as defined by Kontsevich and Manin (in the context of Gromov-Witten theory of course). …

On constructible Hall algebra and instantons

I heard in a talk by Yan Soibelman that by starting with a quiver $Q$ with a set of vertices $I$ we can either symmetrize or anti-symmetrize its Euler-Ringel form $\chi_Q$. He claims that anti-symmetr …

Relation between Donaldson invariants and GW invariants

What is known about the relation of Donaldson invariants on a complex surface $\Sigma$ and GW invariants (or equivalent) of local Calabi-Yau 3folds such as the canonical bundle of $\Sigma$? (if any of …

Why is a Topological Field Theory equivalent to a Frobenius algebra?

How can a physicist understand a 2-dimensional topological field theory as a Frobenius algebra? Are there some explicit examples in order to understand this relation? The definition (e.g. on Wikipedi …
