Abstract
The classical theory of a topological model which is constructed by setting the kinetic term of a (one-dimensional) sigma model at the classical level equal to zero is examined. The constraints and the geometry of the phase space of the supersymmetric extensions of the topological theory are studied. The rigid symmetries of a (supersymmetric) sigma model and its corresponding topological theory are gauged. Finally, the author examines the quantum theory of the one-dimensional sigma model in the limit where its kinetic term is set equal to zero and compare it with the quantum theory of the corresponding topological model.
