Question:
How do we couple $U(1)$ electric (E) and magnetic (M) sources simultaneously in the classical differential geometry language, in a $U(1)$ gauge theory based on $U(1)$ gauge bundle and its $U …

$e^{2\pi ic_{-}/8}$ 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 …

Vafa-Witten invariants for mathematicians
As Richard Thomas has written (we paraphrase just slightly), mathematical physicists Vafa and Witten introduced new "invariants" of four-dimensional spaces in a paper:
A Strong Coupling Test of S-Du …

Number Theory and Gravity
Langlands program is a web of far-reaching and influential conjectures about connections between number theory and geometry. Proposed by Robert Langlands at IAS (1967, 1970), it seeks to relate Galois …

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 …

Yang-Mills theory with non-compact gauge groups G
Physicists are familiar working with Yang-Mills theory with compact and semi-simple gauge groups $G$ (Lie groups).
However, it is not entirely clear the formulation of Yang-Mills theory with non-comp …
