Stolz–Teichner's geometric description of topological modular forms
Stolz–Teichner's geometric description of topological modular forms
Let be a manifold. Write boundary conditions for the th power of the invertible fermionic -dimensional topological field theory that couple to a background scalar field valued in .
Stolz–Teichner conjecture. The degree- topological modular forms of are
Here denotes connected components of the resulting space of boundary conditions. This is a conjectural geometric description of TMF, relating it to supersymmetric boundary conditions in invertible fermionic field theories; the supplied source gives no evidence that the conjecture has been resolved.
