Holomorphic Chern Simons and the Witten Genus: Stretching the Canvas. Part II

. (March 2011)Witten Genus Seminar handwritten notes by Justin Thomas.

Abstract

The main goal of these talks is to introduce the main players in the game and give the starting lineup; in future talks, the game will unfold. Additionally, we will touch on the relevance of the Witten genus and describe briefly the field theory paradigm in which Costello and others work. Combining effective field theories and the BV formalism. Main example: Chern-Simons. Extending Chern-Simons to manifolds of arbitrary dimension.
