We study the topologically twisted string theory on the general back-ground AdS3× N which is compatible with the world-sheet N = 2 superconformal symmetry and is extensively discussed in the recent works [20]. After summarizing the algebraic structure of the world-sheet topological theory, we show that the space-time (boundary) conformal theory should be also topological. We directly construct ...

We investigate the Chung-Fukuma-Shapere theory, or Kuperberg theory, of threedimensional lattice topological field theory. We construct a functor which satisfies the Atiyah’s axioms of topological quantum field theory by reformulating the theory as Turaev-Viro type state-sum theory on a triangulated manifold. The theory can also be extended to give a topological invariant of manifolds with boun...
