Abstract We give a construction of general holomorphic quarter BPS operators in $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 SYM at weak coupling with U(N) gauge group at finite N. The construction employs the Möbius inversion formula for set partitions, applied to multi-symmetric functions, alongside computations in the group algebras of symmetric groups. We present a computational algorithm which produces an orthogonal basis for the physical inner product on the space of holomorphic operators. The basis is labelled by a U(2) Young diagram, a U(N) Young diagram and an additional plethystic multiplicity label. We describe precision counting results of quarter BPS states which are expected to be reproducible from dual computations with giant gravitons in the bulk, including a symmetry relating sphere and AdS giants within the quarter BPS sector. In the case n ≤ N (n being the dimension of the composite operator) the construction is analytic, using multi-symmetric functions and U(2) Clebsch-Gordan coefficients. Counting and correlators of the BPS operators can be encoded in a two-dimensional topological field theory based on permutation algebras and equipped with appropriate defects.

We discuss the relation between different quantization approaches to topological field theories by deriving a connection between Bogomol’nyi and Langevin equations for stochastic processes which evolve towards an equilibrium state governed by the topological charge.

We give a reinterpretation of the matrix theory discussed by Moore, Nekrasov and Shatashivili (MNS) in terms of the second quantized operators which describes the homology class of the Hilbert scheme of points on surfaces. It naturally relates the contribution from each pole to the inner product of orthogonal basis of free boson Fock space. These bases can be related to the eigenfunctions of Calogero–Sutherland (CS) equation and the deformation parameter of MNS is identified with coupling of CS system. We discuss the structure of Virasoro symmetry in this model.

Some tetrahedra in SUk(2) Chern-Simons-Witten theory are computed. The results can be used to compute an arbitrary tetrahedron inductively by fusing with the fundamental representation. The results obtained are in agreement with those of quantum groups. By associating a (finite) topological field theory (FTFT) to every rational conformal field theory (RCFT), we show that the pentagon and hexagon equations in RCFT follow directly from some skein relations in FTFT. By generalizing the operation of surgery on links in FTFT, we also derive an explicit expression for the modular transformation matrix S(k) of the one-point conformal blocks on a torus in RCFT and the equations satisfied by S(k), in agreement with those required in RCFT. The implication of our results on the general program of classifying RCFT is also discussed.

AbstractWe test the validity of a possible schematization of DNA structure and dynamics based on the Chern–Simons theory, that is a topological field theory mostly considered in the context of effective gravity theories. By means of the expectation value of the Wilson Loop, derived from this analogue gravity approach, we find the point-like curvature of genomic strings in KRAS human gene and COVID-19 sequences, correlating this curvature with the genetic mutations. The point-like curvature profile, obtained by means of the Chern–Simons currents, can be used to infer the position of the given mutations within the genetic string. Generally, mutations take place in the highest Chern–Simons current gradient locations and subsequent mutated sequences appear to have a smoother curvature than the initial ones, in agreement with a free energy minimization argument.
