Supersymmetric surface operators, four-manifold theory and invariants in various dimensions
Supersymmetric surface operators, four-manifold theory and invariants in various dimensions
We continue our program initiated in [1] to consider supersymmetric surface operators in a topologically twisted N = 2 pure SU (2) gauge theory, and apply them to the study of four-manifolds and related invariants.Elegant physical proofs of various seminal theorems in four-manifold theory obtained by Ozsváth and Szabó [2,3] …
