Abstract We find a one-dimensional protected subsector of $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 matter theories on a general class of three-dimensional manifolds. By means of equivariant localization we identify a dual quantum mechanics computing BPS correlators of the original model in three dimensions. Specifically, applying the Atiyah-Bott-Berline-Vergne formula to the original action demonstrates that this localizes on a one-dimensional action with support on the fixed-point submanifold of suitable isometries. We first show that our approach reproduces previous results obtained on S3. Then, we apply it to the novel case of S2× S1 and show that the theory localizes on two noninteracting quantum mechanics with disjoint support. We prove that the BPS operators of such models are naturally associated with a noncom- mutative star product, while their correlation functions are essentially topological. Finally, we couple the three-dimensional theory to general $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (2, 2) surface defects and extend the localization computation to capture the full partition function and BPS correlators of the mixed-dimensional system.

Totally Disconnected

AbstractWe consider smooth actions of totally disconnected groups on simplicial complexes and compare different equivariant cohomology groups associated to such actions. Our main result is that the bivariant equivariant cohomology theory introduced by Baum and Schneider can be described using equivariant periodic cyclic homology. This provides a new approach to the construction of Baum and Schneider as well as a computation of equivariant periodic cyclic homology for a natural class of examples. In addition we discuss the relation between cosheaf homology and equivariant Bredon homology. Since the theory of Baum and Schneider generalizes cosheaf homology we finally see that all these approaches to equivariant cohomology for totally disconnected groups are closely related.

AbstractLet G denote a reductive algebraic group over C and x a nilpotent element of its Lie algebra 𝔤. The Springer variety Bx is the closed subvariety of the flag variety B of G parameterizing the Borel subalgebras of 𝔤 containing x. It has the remarkable property that the Weyl group W of G admits a representation on the cohomology of Bx even though W rarely acts on Bx itself. Well-known constructions of this action due to Springer and others use technical machinery from algebraic geometry. The purpose of this note is to describe an elementary approach that gives this action when x is what we call parabolic-surjective. The idea is to use localization to construct an action of W on the equivariant cohomology algebra H*S (Bx), where S is a certain algebraic subtorus of G. This action descends to H*(Bx) via the forgetful map and gives the desired representation. The parabolic-surjective case includes all nilpotents of type A and, more generally, all nilpotents for which it is known that W acts on H*S (Bx) for some torus S. Our result is deduced from a general theorem describing when a group action on the cohomology of the ûxed point set of a torus action on a space lifts to the full cohomology algebra of the space.

We discuss some recent developments that illustrate the interplay between the theory of crossed products of continuous trace C*-algebras and algebraic topology, summarizing results relating topological invariants coming from the theory of fiber bundles to continuous trace C*-algebras and their automorphism groups and the structure of the associated crossed product C*-algebras. This survey article starts from the classical theory of Dixmier, Douady, and Fell, and discusses the more recent work of Echterhoff, Phillips, Raeburn, Rosenberg, and Williams, among others. The topological invariants involved are Čech cohomology, the cohomology of locally compact groups with Borel cochains of C. Moore, and the recently introduced equivariant cohomology theory of Crocker, Kumjian, Raeburn and Williams.
