We propose a twisted D=N=2 superspace formalism. The relation between the twisted super charges including the BRST charge, vector and pseudo scalar super charges and the N=2 spinor super charges is established. We claim that this relation is essentially related with the Dirac-Kähler fermion mechanism. We show that a fermionic bilinear form of twisted N=2 chiral and anti-chiral superfields is equivalent to the quantized version of BF theory with the Landau type gauge fixing while a bosonic bilinear form leads to the N=2 Wess-Zumino action. We then construct a Yang-Mills action described by the twisted N=2 chiral and vector superfields, and show that the action is equivalent to the twisted version of the D=N=2 super Yang-Mills action, previously obtained from the quantized generalized topological Yang-Mills action with instanton gauge fixing.
We propose the lattice version of BF gravity action whose partition function leads to the product of a particular form of 15-j symbol which corresponds to a 4-simplex. The action is explicitly constructed by lattice B field defined on triangles and link variables defined on dual links and is shown to be invariant under lattice local Lorentz transformation and Kalb-Ramond gauge transformation. We explicitly show that the partition function is Pachner move invariant and thus topological. The action includes the vanishing holonomy constraint which can be interpreted as a gauge fixing condition. This formulation of lattice BF theory can be generalized into arbitrary dimensions. = 2 2 J m 1 J m1 3 J m3 + J m 4 4 + J .In general any 3nj-symbols (n = 2, 3, 4, 5, ..) can be graphically represented by the closed trivalent graph. For example 6-j symbol can be decomposed into four 3-j symbols by the formula ,where the factor (−1) i (J i −m i ) can be understood as a sign factor coming from the invariant metric. The graphical presentation of the above 6-j symbol can be given 1 J
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
