We identify the locally N=2 supersymmetric Lagrangian describing spin-one particles in a D-dimensional space-time as the gauge-fixing of a topological quantum mechanical model acting in a target-space with two extra dimensions.

Many approaches to quantum gravity consider the revision of the space-time geometry and the structure of elementary particles. One of the main candidates is string theory. It is possible that this theory will be able to describe the problem of hierarchy, provided that there is an appropriate Calabi-Yau geometry. In this paper we will proceed from the traditional view on the structure of elementary particles in the usual four-dimensional space-time. The only condition is that quarks and leptons should have a common emerging structure. When a new formula for the mass of the hierarchy is obtained, this structure arises from topological quantum theory and a suitable choice of dimensional units.

We study the target space duality transformations in p-branes as transformations which mix the world volume field equations with Bianchi identities. We consider an (m+p+1)-dimensional space-time with p+1 dimensions compactified, and a particular form of the background fields. We find that while a GL (2) = SL (2) × R group is realized when m = 0, only a two-parameter group is realized when m > 0.

In topological quantum computation quantum information is stored in exotic states of matter which are intrinsically protected from decoherence, and quantum operations are carried out by dragging particle-like excitations (quasiparticles) around one another in two space dimensions. The resulting quasiparticle trajectories define world-lines in three dimensional space-time, and the corresponding quantum operations depend only on the topology of the braids formed by these world-lines. We describe recent work showing how to find braids which can be used to perform arbitrary quantum computations using a specific kind of quasiparticle (those described by the so-called Fibonacci anyon model) which are thought to exist in the experimentally observed ν = 12/5 fractional quantum Hall state.
