Borel-Écalle re-summation and resurgence: criteria and results
This is about the theory of Borel-Écalle re-summation and resurgence, see Refs below.
This states that the perturbative series (say of the vacuum expectation value of an operator $\mathcal{O}$ in quan …

Group cohomology version of Deligne-Beilinson cohomology
I appreciate Deligne-Beilinson cohomology as a topological cohomology generalization of de Rham cohomology, which concerns the topological structure of manifolds.
On the other hand, we know that ther …

$e^{2\pi ic_{-}/8}$ and $e^{2\pi ic_{-}/24}$ in unitary modular category (UMC)
Background
Unitary modular categories (UMC) do not capture the central charge $c_{-}$ of the topological quantum field theory (TQFT). However, there is a relation that fixes,
$c_{-}\bmod
8$:

Supersymmetry charge $Q$ as anti-linear and anti-unitary operator
We know the supersymmetry (SUSY) charge $Q$ satisfies the following relation respect to fermion parity operator $(-1)^F$:
$$
(-1)^F Q + Q (-1)^F :=\{Q, (-1)^F \} =0
$$
which defines the anti-commutat …

Yang-Mills theory v.s. Kaluza–Klein theory: Classical actions
In general Yang-Mills theory [1] seems to be different from the dimensional reduced Kaluza–Klein theory.
However, the historical account was that people tried to trace back the origin of non-Abelian …
