A noncommutative deformation of topological field theory

Abstract: Cohomological Yang-Mills theory is formulated on a noncommutative differentiable four manifold through the θ-deformation of its corresponding BRST algebra. The resulting noncommutative field theory is a natural setting to define the θ-deformation of Donaldson invariants and they are interpreted as a mapping between the Chevalley-Eilenberg homology of noncommutative spacetime and the Chevalley-Eilenberg cohomology of noncommutative moduli of instantons. In the process we find that in the weak coupling limit the… Show more

“…It is tempting to conjecture that, at least in the strong-coupling regime, these deformed moduli spaces, and the noncommutative open string theory, could be described by some sort of noncommutative topological sigma-model. Noncommutative versions of the standard topological field theories may be constructed by deforming the BRST algebras of observables [76]- [78].…”

In the process one can find that in the weak coupling limit the quantum theory is localized at the moduli space of noncommutative instantons [54].…”
