Twisted baryon number in N = 2 supersymmetric QCD
Abstract
We show that the baryon number of N = 2 supersymmetric QCD can be twisted in order to couple the topological field theory of non-abelian monopoles to Spinc-structures. To motivate the construction, we also consider some aspects of the twisting procedure as a gauging of global currents in two and four dimensions, in particular the rôle played by anomalies.
