Homologically Twisted Invariants Related to (2+1)- and (3+1)-Dimensional State-Sum Topological Quantum Field Theories
Abstract
Description
Motivated by suggestions of Paolo Cotta-Ramusino's work at the physical level of rigor relating BF theory to the Donaldson polynomials, we provide a construction applicable to the Turaev/Viro and Crane/Yetter invariants of *a priori* finer invariants dependent on a choice of (co)homology class on the manifold
