Frobenius Algebra Structures in Topological Quantum Field Theory Frob enius Algebra Structures in Top ological Quantum Field Theory and Quantum Cohomology by Lowell Abrams A dissertation submitted to The Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Do ctor of Philosophy Baltimore Maryland Abstract We prove that a commutative nitedimensional algebra A is a Frob enius algebra if and only if it has a co commutative comultiplication with counit Based on this we prove the onetoone corresp ondence between top ological quantum eld theories and Frob enius algebras formulated as an equivalence of monoidal categories For each Frob enius algebra A we dene a canonical characteristic class and show that this characteristic class is a unit if and only if A is semisimple tum cohomology the Frob enius algebra characteristic class the In quan quantum Euler class is a deformation of the classical Euler class whichisthe Frob enius algebra class of classical cohomology Weshow that in the case of the classical and quantum cohomology rings of the nite Grassmannian manifolds the quantum Euler class can be viewed as the determinant of a Hessian giving it a geometric interpretation We also discuss a particular p olynomial P which provides a lifting of b oth the classical and quantum Euler classes and conjecture the validity of a sp ecic expression for P which strengthens its connection to Frob enius algebra structure ii How great are Your works God Your thoughts are exceedingly deep Psalms iii Acknowledgments Great thanks are due to my advisor Jack

they are nowenjoying renewed attention b ecause of their connec tions with currentinterests in mathematical physics This thesis deals with the structure of Frob enius algebras motivated by applications to twodimensional top ological quantum eld theory TQFT and quantum cohomology Top ological Quantum Field Theory Top ological quantum eld theories were rst describ ed axiomatically by Atiyah in Lo osely sp eaking a ddimensional TQFT is a representation in a sense analogous to representation of groups of the category of ddimensional cob ordisms of d dimensional compact manifolds In such a categorythe d dimensional compact manifolds are the ob jects and the cob ordisms themselves are the morphisms Comp osition of morphisms o ccurs by gluing cob ordisms along homeomorphic b oundaries Details of these denitions are discussed in sections and Interest sp ecically in twodimensional TQFTs go es back to such sources as Segals presentation in of twodimensional conformal eld theories and Wittens work in relating the same to results in higher dimensions In Voronov presents a folk theorem asserting that a twodimensional TQFT is hes a pro of Similar material also equivalenttoaFrob enius algebra and sketc app ears earlier in Intuitively the folk theorem states that the category of twocob ordisms is the universal Frob enius algebra ie that there is a onetoone corresp ondence between Frob enius algebras and representations of the category of twocob ordisms Chapter centers around a rigorous pro of of this theorem which we have strengthened to a statement ab out categories Theorem There is an equivalence of categories between the category of Frobenius algebras and the category of TQFTs which respects their monoidal structures The pro of of this theorem rests heavily on a new characterization of Frob enius algebras Theorem An algebra A is a Frobenius algebra if and only if it has a comultiplication which is a map of Amodules Section shows that FA structures behave well with resp ect to direct sum and tensor pro duct and this provides a means for dening direct sums and tensor pro ducts of TQFTs In light of the following decomp osition theorem for Frob enius algebras provides a decomp osition theorem for direct sums of TQFTs as well Theorem Every FA A decomposes into a direct sum of elds and inde composable annihilator algebras and the FA structure of A is more or less determined by the FA structures of its indecomposable constituents of the imp ortant morphisms in the category of twocob ordisms is the One torus with two punctures Gluing to one boundary of this morphism H increases genus by one without changing connectivity and without increasing the number of b oundaries Any TQFT Z sends to an op erator A A H where A is the Frob enius algebra corresp onding to Z This op erator is called the handle op erator and it acts simply bymultiplying by a certain distin guished element of A see section for details This canonically dened element is a kind of characteristic class for Frob enius algebras section explains its close relationship to the Euler class in the cohomology ring of an oriented manifold The distinguished element satises a notion of naturality and has a particularly nice algebraic prop erty Theorem A Frobenius algebra is semisimple if and only if its distin guished element is a unit The drive to nd algebraic invariants for top ological ob jects has a long history ie the study of algebraic top ology In recent times knots have b een ob jects of intense study in this regard and new top ological invariants have been found in terms of various algebraic structures such as von Neumann algebras and Hopf algebras In a similar vein TQFTs provide a new source of invariants for higher dimensional top ological ob jects Chapter closes with an example of several twodimensional TQFTs based on a single FA which collectively provide a source of invariants p erhaps rich enough to distinguish all twodimensional cob ordisms This requires further investiga tion Quantum Cohomology The quantum cohomology ring of a manifold M is additively the same as the classical cohomology ring of M but p ossesses a multiplication which is a deformation of the classical cup pro duct Section sketches the basic notions and denitions of quantum cohomology rings and how they generalize classical cohomology

  • Information Geometry and Frobenius Algebra
    Information geometry and Frobenius algebra Ruichao Jiang, Javad Tavakoli, Yiqiang Zhao Oct 2020 Abstract We show that a Frobenius sturcture is equivalent to a dually flat sturcture in information geometry. We define a multiplication structure on the tangent spaces of statistical manifolds, which we call the statisti- cal product. We also define a scalar quantity, which we call the Yukawa term. By showing two examples from statistical mechanics, first the clas- sical ideal gas, second the quantum bosonic ideal gas, we argue that the Yukawa term quantifies information generation, which resembles how mass is generated via the 3-points interaction of two fermions and a Higgs boson (Higgs mechanism). In the classical case, The Yukawa term is identically zero, whereas in the quantum case, the Yukawa term diverges as the fu- gacity goes to zero, which indicates the Bose-Einstein condensation. 1 Introduction Amari in his own monograph [1] writes that major journals rejected his idea of dual affine connections on the grounds of their nonexistence in the mainstream Riemannian geometry. Later on, this dualistic structure turned out to be useful in information science, e.g. EM algorithms. The aim of this paper is to show the Frobenius algebra structure in information geometry and thus give a physical meaning for the Amari-Chentsov tensor. In information geometry, instead of the usual Levi-Civita connection, a non- metrical connections and its dual ∗ are used. Associated with these two connections is a mysterious∇ tensor, called∇ the Amari-Chentsov tensor (AC ten- arXiv:2010.05110v1 [math.DG] 10 Oct 2020 sor) and a one-parameter family of flat connections, called the α-connections.

  • Quantum Cohomology of Lagrangian and Orthogonal Grassmannians
    QUANTUM COHOMOLOGY OF LAGRANGIAN AND ORTHOGONAL GRASSMANNIANS HARRY TAMVAKIS Abstract. This is the written version of my talk at the Mathematische Ar- beitstagung 2001, which reported on joint work with Andrew Kresch (papers [KT2] and [KT3]). The Classical Theory For the purposes of this talk we will work over the complex numbers, and in the holomorphic (or algebraic) category. There are three kinds of Grassmannians that we will consider, depending on their Lie type: • In type A,letG(k; N)=SLN =Pk be the Grassmannian which parametrizes N k-dimensional linear subspaces of C . • In type C,letLG = LG(n; 2n)=Sp2n=Pn be the Lagrangian Grassmannian. • In types B and D,letOG = OG(n; 2n +1)=SO2n+1=Pn denote the odd or- thogonal Grassmannian, which is isomorphic to the even orthogonal Grassmannian OG(n +1; 2n +2)=SO2n+2=Pn+1. We begin by defining the Lagrangian Grassmannian LG(n; 2n), and will discuss the Grassmannians for the other types later in the talk. Let V be the vector 2n V space C , equipped with a symplectic form. A subspace Σ of is isotropic if the restriction of the form to Σ vanishes. The maximal possible dimension of an isotropic subspace is n, and in this case Σ is called a Lagrangian subspace. The Lagrangian Grassmannian LG = LG(n; 2n) is the projective complex manifold which parametrizes Lagrangian subspaces Σ in V . There is a stratification of LG by Schubert varieties Xλ, one for each strict n ` ` λ partition λ =(λ1 >λ2 > ··· >λ` > 0) with λ1 6 . The number = ( )isthe n length of λ, and we let Dn denote the set of strict partitions λ with λ1 6 .To describe Xλ more precisely, fix an isotropic flag of subspaces Fi of V : 0 ⊂ F1 ⊂ F2 ⊂···⊂Fn ⊂ V with dim(Fi)=i for each i,andFn Lagrangian.

  • Frobenius Algebras and Planar Open String Topological Field Theories
    Frobenius algebras and planar open string topological field theories Aaron D. Lauda Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB3 0WB UK email: [email protected] October 29, 2018 Abstract Motivated by the Moore-Segal axioms for an open-closed topological field theory, we consider planar open string topological field theories. We rigorously define a category 2Thick whose objects and morphisms can be thought of as open strings and diffeomorphism classes of planar open string worldsheets. Just as the category of 2-dimensional cobordisms can be described as the free symmetric monoidal category on a commutative Frobenius algebra, 2Thick is shown to be the free monoidal category on a noncommutative Frobenius algebra, hence justifying this choice of data in the Moore-Segal axioms. Our formalism is inherently categorical allowing us to generalize this result. As a stepping stone towards topological mem- brane theory we define a 2-category of open strings, planar open string worldsheets, and isotopy classes of 3-dimensional membranes defined by diffeomorphisms of the open string worldsheets. This 2-category is shown to be the free (weak monoidal) 2-category on a ‘categorified Frobenius al- gebra’, meaning that categorified Frobenius algebras determine invariants of these 3-dimensional membranes. arXiv:math/0508349v1 [math.QA] 18 Aug 2005 1 Introduction It is well known that 2-dimensional topological quantum field theories are equiv- alent to commutative Frobenius algebras [1, 16, 29]. This simple algebraic characterization arises directly from the simplicity of 2Cob, the 2-dimensional cobordism category. In fact, 2Cob admits a completely algebraic description as the free symmetric monoidal category on a commutative Frobenius algebra.

Printed in India Gromov–Witten invariants and quantum cohomology AMIYA MUKHERJEE Stat-Math Division, Indian Statistical Institute, 203 B.T. Road, Kolkata 700 108, India E-mail: [email protected] Dedicated to Professor K B Sinha on the occasion of his 60th birthday Abstract. This article is an elaboration of a talk given at an international confer- ence on Operator Theory, Quantum Probability, and Noncommutative Geometry held during December 20–23, 2004, at the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata. The lecture was meant for a general audience, and also prospective research students, the idea of the quantum cohomology based on the Gromov–Witten invariants. Of course there are many important aspects that are not discussed here. Keywords. J-holomorphic curves; moduli spaces; Gromov–Witten classes; quantum cohomology. 1. Introduction Quantum cohomology is a new mathematical discipline influenced by the string theory as a joint venture of physicists and mathematicians. The notion was first proposed by Vafa [V], and developed by Witten [W] and others [B]. The theory consists of some new approaches to the problem of constructing invariants of compact symplectic manifolds and algebraic varieties. The approaches are related to the ideas of a (1 + 1)-dimensional topological quantum field theory, which indicate that the general principle of constructing invariants should be as follows: The invariants of a manifold M should be obtained by integrating cohomology classes over certain moduli space M associated to M. In our case the manifold is a symplectic manifold (M,ω), and the moduli space M is the space of 1 certain J-holomorphic spheres σ: CP M in a given homology class A H2(M;Z).

  • Relative Floer and Quantum Cohomology and the Symplectic Topology of Lagrangian Submanifolds
    Relative Floer and quantum cohomology and the symplectic topology of Lagrangian submanifolds Yong-Geun Oh Department of Mathematics University of Wisconsin Madison, WI 53706 Dedicated to the memory of Andreas Floer Abstract: Floer (co)homology of the symplectic manifold which was originally introduced by Floer in relation to the Arnol’d conjecture has recently attracted much attention from both mathematicians and mathematical physicists either from the algebraic point of view or in relation to the quantum cohomology and the mirror symmetry. Very recent progress in its relative version, the Floer (co)homology of Lagrangian submanifolds, has revealed quite different mathematical perspective: The Floer (co)homology theory of Lagrangian submanifolds is a powerful tool in the study of symplectic topology of Lagrangian submanifolds, just as the classical (co)homology theory in topology has been so in the study of differential topology of submanifolds on differentiable manifolds. In this survey, we will review the Floer theory of Lagrangian submanifolds and explain the recent progress made by Chekanov and by the present author in this relative Floer theory, which have found several applications of the Floer theory to the symplectic topology of Lagrangian submanifolds which demonstrates the above perspective: They include a Floer theoretic proof of Gromov’s non-exactness theorem, an optimal lower bound for the symplectic disjunction energy, construction of new symplectic invariants, proofs of the non-degeneracy of Hofer’s distance on the space of Lagrangian submanifolds in the cotangent bundles and new results on the Maslov class obstruction to the Lagrangian embedding in Cn. Each of these applications accompanies new development in the Floer theory itself: localizations, semi-infinite cycles and minimax theory in the Floer theory and a spectral sequence as quantum cor- rections and others.

    FROBENIUS MANIFOLD STRUCTURE ON DOLBEAULT COHOMOLOGY AND MIRROR SYMMETRY HUAI-DONG CAO & JIAN ZHOU Abstract. We construct a differential Gerstenhaber-Batalin-Vilkovisky alge- bra from Dolbeault complex of any closed K¨ahler manifold, and a Frobenius manifold structure on Dolbeault cohomology. String theory leads to the mysterious Mirror Conjecture, see Yau [29] for the history. One of the mathematical predictions made by physicists based on this con- jecture is the formula due to Candelas-de la Ossa-Green-Parkes [4] on the number of rational curves of any degree on a quintic in CP4. Recently, it has been proved by Lian-Liu-Yau [15]. The theory of quantum cohomology, also suggested by physicists, has lead to a better mathematical formulation of the Mirror Conjecture. As explained in Witten [28], there are two topological conformal field theories on a Calabi-Yau manifold X: A theory is independent of the complex structure of X, but depends on the K¨aher form on X, while B theory is independent of the K¨ahler form of X, but depends on the complex structure of X. Vafa [25] explained how two quantum cohomology rings and ′ arise from these theories, and the notion of mirror symmetry could be translatedR R into the equivalence of A theory on a Calabi-Yau manifold X with B theory on another Calabi-Yau manifold Xˆ, called the mirror of X, such that the quantum ring can be identified with ′. For a mathematicalR exposition in termsR of variation of Hodge structures, see e.g. Morrison [19] or Bertin-Peters [2]. There are two natural Frobenius algebras on any Calabi-Yau n-fold, A(X)= n Hk(X, Ωk), B(X)= n Hk(X, Ω−k), ⊕k=0 ⊕k=0 where Ω−k is the sheaf of holomorphic sections to ΛkTX.

  • Frobenius Algebras and Their Quivers
    Can. J. Math., Vol. XXX, No. 5, 1978, pp. 1029-1044 FROBENIUS ALGEBRAS AND THEIR QUIVERS EDWARD L. GREEN This paper studies the construction of Frobenius algebras. We begin with a description of when a graded ^-algebra has a Frobenius algebra as a homo- morphic image. We then turn to the question of actual constructions of Frobenius algebras. We give a, method for constructing Frobenius algebras as factor rings of special tensor algebras. Since the representation theory of special tensor algebras has been studied intensively ([6], see also [2; 3; 4]), our results permit the construction of Frobenius algebras which have representa­ tions with prescribed properties. Such constructions were successfully used in [9]. A special tensor algebra has an associated quiver (see § 3 and 4 for defini­ tions) which determines the tensor algebra. The basic result relating an associated quiver and the given tensor algebra is that the category of represen­ tations of the quiver is isomorphic to the category of modules over the tensor algebra [3; 4; 6]. One of the questions which is answered in this paper is: given a quiver J2, is there a Frobenius algebra T such that i2 is the quiver of T; that is, is there a special tensor algebra T = K + M + ®« M + . with associated quiver j2 such that there is a ring surjection \p : T —> T with ker \p Ç (®RM + ®%M + . .) and Y being a Frobenius algebra? This question was completely answered under the additional constraint that the radical of V cubed is zero [8, Theorem 2.1]. The study of radical cubed zero self-injective algebras has been used in classifying radical square zero Artin algebras of finite representation type [11].

  • Applications and Combinatorics in Algebraic Geometry Frank Sottile Summary
    Applications and Combinatorics in Algebraic Geometry Frank Sottile Summary Algebraic Geometry is a deep and well-established field within pure mathematics that is increasingly finding applications outside of mathematics. These applications in turn are the source of new questions and challenges for the subject. Many applications flow from and contribute to the more combinatorial and computational parts of algebraic geometry, and this often involves real-number or positivity questions. The scientific development of this area devoted to applications of algebraic geometry is facilitated by the sociological development of administrative structures and meetings, and by the development of human resources through the training and education of younger researchers. One goal of this project is to deepen the dialog between algebraic geometry and its appli- cations. This will be accomplished by supporting the research of Sottile in applications of algebraic geometry and in its application-friendly areas of combinatorial and computational algebraic geometry. It will be accomplished in a completely different way by supporting Sottile’s activities as an officer within SIAM and as an organizer of scientific meetings. Yet a third way to accomplish this goal will be through Sottile’s training and mentoring of graduate students, postdocs, and junior collaborators. The intellectual merits of this project include the development of applications of al- gebraic geometry and of combinatorial and combinatorial aspects of algebraic geometry. Specifically, Sottile will work to develop the theory and properties of orbitopes from the perspective of convex algebraic geometry, continue to investigate linear precision in geo- metric modeling, and apply the quantum Schubert calculus to linear systems theory.
