Equivariant Stolz–Teichner conjecture for field theories and equivariant TMF

At least 1 year old · documented by

Let GG be a compact Lie group acting on a manifold XX, let X/ ⁣/∇GX{/{\!/}^{\nabla}}G denote the quotient stack encoding the action with connection data, and let [ℓ]∈H4(BG;Z)[\ell]\in H^4(BG;\mathbb{Z}) be a level. Write QFT2∣1ℓ(X/ ⁣/∇G){\sf QFT}^{\ell}_{2|1}(X{/{\!/}^{\nabla}}G) for the category of [?][?]-twisted 2|1-dimensional field theories and TMFGℓ(X){\rm TMF}^{\ell}_G(X) for [?][?]-twisted GG-equivariant TMF. Equivariant Stolz–Teichner conjecture. There is a cocycle map

QFT2∣1ℓ(X/ ⁣/∇G)⟶TMFGℓ(X){\sf QFT}^{\ell}_{2|1}(X{/{\!/}^{\nabla}}G)\longrightarrow {\rm TMF}^{\ell}_G(X)

valued in [?][?]-twisted GG-equivariant TMF of XX; moreover, families of GG-equivariant string manifolds admit an analogous commuting triangle. This is a proposed equivariant refinement of the Stolz–Teichner picture, but the paper notes that the relevant higher-categorical field-theory definitions form a non-unique collection and that variations remain open.
