Lectures on 2D Yang-Mills Theory, Equivariant Cohomology and Topological Field Theories
read the original abstract
These are expository lectures reviewing (1) recent developments in two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory, and (2) the construction of topological field theory Lagrangians. Topological field theory is discussed from the point of view of infinite-dimensional differential geometry. We emphasize the unifying role of equivariant cohomology both as the underlying principle in the formulation of BRST transformation laws and as a central concept in the geometrical interpretation of topological field theory path integrals.

The Runkel-Watts string
The Runkel-Watts string is a solvable family of two-dimensional string theories whose all-genus amplitudes are generated by SU(2) Yang-Mills TQFT data combined with VMS quantum volumes, and it has a dual matrix-integr...

Twisting BFSS & IKKT
The minimal supersymmetric twists of the IKKT and BFSS matrix models are computed in BV-BRST cohomology and matched, in the planar limit, to BCOV-type twisted IIB and IIA supergravity; the non-minimal twists are local...

Total instanton restriction via multiverse interference: Noncompact gauge theories and (-1)-form symmetries
Continuous-universe decomposition plus (-1)-form gauging eliminates every instanton in local QFTs, realized explicitly by switching 2D U(1) gauge theories to noncompact R gauge groups.

From 2D Yang-Mills to Calogero-Sutherland via a colored particle
Coupling a colored particle to 2D Yang-Mills on a cylinder reduces the dynamics, for SU(N), to the singular Calogero-Sutherland model.
