Duality and Topological Quantum Field Theory
Abstract
Description
We present a summary of the applications of duality to Donaldson-Witten theory and its generalizations. Special emphasis is made on the computation of Donaldson invariants in terms of Seiberg-Witten invariants using recent results in N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory. A brief account on the invariants obtained in the theory of non-abelian monopoles is also presented.
