Factorising the 3D topologically twisted index

We explore the path integration — upon the contour of hermitian (non-auxliary) field configurations — of topologically twisted N= 2 Chern-Simons-matter theory (TTCSM) on S2 times a segment. In this way, we obtain the formula for the 3D topologically twisted index, first as a convolution of TTCSM on...

Sumario:We explore the path integration — upon the contour of hermitian (non-auxliary) field configurations — of topologically twisted N= 2 Chern-Simons-matter theory (TTCSM) on S2 times a segment. In this way, we obtain the formula for the 3D topologically twisted index, first as a convolution of TTCSM on S2 times halves of S1, second as TTCSM on S2 times S1 — with a puncture, — and third as TTCSM on S2× S1. In contradistinction to the first two cases, in the third case, the vector multiplet auxiliary field D is constrained to be anti-hermitian. © 2017, The Author(s).
