How do we give mathematical meaning to 'physical dimensions'?
Mathematically, the concept of a physical dimension is expressed using one-dimensional vector spaces and their tensor products.
For example, consider mass.
You can add masses together and you know how …

Practical consequences of the geometric cobordism hypothesis
My question is: does this lead to a more-or-less explicit construction of any non-trivial quantum field theories? If so, this would be extremely interesting since only a handful of interacting quantu …

Group cohomology version of Deligne-Beilinson cohomology
The nth Deligne cohomology is defined as cohomology with coefficients
in a truncated chain complex of sheaves of U(1)-valued differential forms:
U(1)→Ω^1→Ω^2→⋯→Ω^n for some n≥0.
Thus starting with an …

1d TQFT minus connection =?
Going into more detail (and consequently making more and more mistakes), a vector bundle with connection allows to assign to a point the fibre over that point, and to a path the monodromy (or holon …

Connection on a Hilbert bundle
This is an answer to the refined question formulated in the comments:
the base space is the unitary dual of a Lie group $G$.
The definition can be carried out in the setting of stacks in groupoids (or …

Path integral derivation of extended TQFT
The physics motivation for extended QFTs (and not just TQFTs) comes from the locality principle (no spooky action at a distance).
The mathematical expression of locality is the descent property for ex …
