3D TQFT and HOMFLYPT homology
Abstract
We describe a family of 3d topological B-models whose target spaces are Hilbert schemes of points in C2. The interfaces separating theories with different numbers of points correspond to braid strands. The Hilbert space of the picture of a closed braid is the HOMFLY-PT homology of the corresponding link.
