Rigorous QFT from integration over subspace
Many perturbative QFTs suffer from the lack of a rigorous
definition of a "good enough" measure over the space of paths (or
fields) $P$,
$$\mathcal{Z} = \int_{{x \in P}} e^{iS(x)} Dx$$
There are many …

Link invariants from Hecke relations of higher order
Alexander theorem says oriented links in $\mathbb{R}^3$ can be
represented by closures of braids. Markov theorem says that
braids related by Markov moves produce isotopic braid closures,
and vice vers …

Definition of an n-category
What's the standard definition, if any, of an $n$-category as of 2020? The literature I can tap into is quite limited, but I'll try my best to list what I had so far.
In [Lei2001], Leinster demonstrat …

Donaldson invariants for piecewise-linear $4$-manifolds
It is well known that in dimension $4$, the notion of piecewise linear manifolds and the notion of smooth manifolds are the same [1][2]. On the other hand, the computations of Donaldson invariants inv …

Representations of 2-groups and quantum double constructions
Let $G$ be a finite group. The category of its representations (complex linear, finite dimensional, throughout this whole question) is equivalent to $\mathbb{C}[G]$-modules. V. Drinfeld constructed a …

A toy model in 0-d QFT
Questions
For any positive integer $r$, compute $$(\frac{d}{dY})^r e^{(Y^2)}| _{Y=0}.$$ The answer should directly relates to a counting problem about Feynman diagrams.
Is there a tutorial for how F …

Uniqueness of Witten-Dijkgraaf 2D TQFT at 0th dimension
If I understand correctly, Dijkgraaf-Witten TQFT in dimension 2 is the
following. Fix any finite group $G$, we define a field over a closed
2-manifold to be a principle $G$ bundle (it's automatically …
