Morphisms between supersymmetric and topological quantum field theories
Description
We find that topological invariants, isomorphic to Donaldson polynomials, exist in chiral superfield theories. Twists between these invariants and those of the corresponding TQFT are given. In the topological sigma model, anticommuting charges of integer spin are found which together with the BRST charge, fill out a D=2, N=2 supersymmetry algebra. (orig.)
