Three-dimensional 2-framed TQFTS and surgery
نویسندگان
چکیده
The notion of 2-framed three-manifolds is defined. The category of 2-framed cobordisms is described, and used to define a 2-framed three-dimensional TQFT. Using skeletonization and special features of this category, a small set of data and relations is given that suffice to construct a 2-framed three-dimensional TQFT. These data and relations are expressed in the language of surgery.

Invariants of Spin Three-manifolds from Chern-simons Theory and Finite-dimensional Hopf Algebras
A version of Kirby calculus for spin and framed threemanifolds is given and is used to construct invariants of spin and framed three-manifolds in two situations. The first is ribbon ∗categories which possess odd degenerate objects. This case includes the quantum groups situations corresponding to the half-integer level Chern-Simons theories conjectured to give spin TQFTs by Dijkgraaf and Witten...
متن کاملApplications of Tqft Invariants in Low Dimensional Topology
In this short note we give lower bounds for the Heegaard genus of 3-manifolds using various TQFT in 2+1 dimensions. We also study the large k limit and the large G limit of our lower bounds, using a conjecture relating the various combinatorial and physical TQFTs. We also prove, assuming this conjecture, that the HOMFLY polynomial of a framed knot in S 3 along with all of its cables distinguish...
متن کاملFiniteness for the Wrt Representations of Mapping Class Groups
We consider a central extension of the mapping class group of a surface with a collection of framed colored points. The Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev TQFTs associated to SU(2) and SO(3) induce unitary representations of this group. We show these representations have finite image in the case r is an odd prime. We show this for all r if the surface is a sphere. We show this for all r if the surface i...
متن کاملSimulation of topological field theories by quantum computers
Quantum computers will work by evolving a high tensor power of a small (e.g. two) dimensional Hilbert space by local gates, which can be implemented by applying a local Hamiltonian H for a time t. In contrast to this quantum engineering, the most abstract reaches of theoretical physics has spawned “topological models” having a finite dimensional internal state space with no natural tensor produ...
متن کامل0 O ct 2 00 7 ON EXOTIC MODULAR TENSOR CATEGORIES
It has been conjectured that every (2+1)-TQFT is a Chern-SimonsWitten (CSW) theory labelled by a pair (G, λ), where G is a compact Lie group, and λ ∈ H(BG;Z) a cohomology class. We study two TQFTs constructed from Jones’ subfactor theory which are believed to be counterexamples to this conjecture: one is the quantum double of the even sectors of the E6 subfactor, and the other is the quantum do...
