References on mathematical stacks for a string theory student
This question was posted on mathoverflow (here) without too much success.
I'm hoping to read the famous Kapustin-Witten Paper "Electric-magnetic duality and the geometric Langlands program" ...

References for topological strings on supermanifolds
This question concerns topological string theory.
It was known sice its outset, that the BRST-cohomology ("the ring of observables") of the weakly coupled B-model topological string on a ...

Lost reference: Kähler gravity in six dimensions and three dimensional $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$ Chern-Simons theory
I've noticed that several references take for a fact that by studying Kähler gravity on a Calabi-Yau threefold one can demostrate that any lagrangian submanifold embedded in the threefold posees three ...

Reading list in topological QFT
I'm interested in learning about topological QFT including Chern Simons theory, Jones polynomial, Donaldson theory and Floer homology - basically the kind of things Witten worked on in the 80s. I'm ...

Applications of Geometric Topology to Theoretical Physics
Geometric topology is the study of manifolds, maps between manifolds, and embeddings of manifolds in one another. Included in this sub-branch of Pure Mathematics; knot theory, homotopy, manifold ...
