A Panorama Of Physical Mathematics c. 2022

Abstract: What follows is a broad-brush overview of the recent synergistic interactions between mathematics and theoretical physics of quantum field theory and string theory. The discussion is forwardlooking, suggesting potentially useful and fruitful directions and problems, some old, some new, for further development of the subject. This paper is a much extended version of the Snowmass whitepaper on physical mathematics [1].

“…= e 2π i a 8 , a = 1, 3, 5, 7 (5.26) σ 3 , σ 5 and σ 7 generate three Z 2 subgroups of the full Galois group. These subgroups fixes the following subfields of F G = Q(i, √ 2).…”

“…Quantum field theories have led to the discovery of new mathematical structures, and have given us deep insights into several areas of mathematics. Some examples include the study of low-dimensional topology using Chern-Simons theory [1][2][3], the discovery of mirror symmetry from string theory [4], the discovery of vertex operator algebras from conformal field theory [5][6][7] and many more [8].…”

“…They describe universal macroscopic behaviors of many-body quantum or statistical systems, ranging from critical Ising model, fractional quantum hall systems to quantum gravity via holography principle. Exact results in TQFTs and supersymmetric CFTs (SCFTs) have triggered the currently ongoing explosion in the area of physical mathematics, see [1] for a recent nice review on the subject.…”

“…Recently, the rank-0 SCFT turns out to contain a pair of non-unitary (semi-simple) TQFTs, say TFT ± in a Coulomb/Higgs branch limit [2]. 1 The (rank-0 SCFT)/(non-unitary TQFTs) correspondence provides a novel classification scheme of rank-0 SCFTs by studying its associated non-unitary TQFTs. Using the correspondence, for example, one can derive a lower bound on F (round 3-sphere free-energy) for N = 4 rank-0 SCFTs [2].…”

“…Broadly, we may classify the subjects in two groups, as reflected by the different parallel session talks at this conference: Formal aspects of Quantum Field Theories (QFT) and Quantum Aspects of Gravity. Recent progress is summarised in [4,5] and [6] respectively.…”
