Noncommutative Topological Quantum Field Theory-Noncommutative Floer Homology

Abstract

We present some ideas for a possible Noncommutative Floer Homology. The geometric motivation comes from an attempt to build a theory which applies to practically every 3-manifold (closed, oriented and connected) and not only to homology 3-spheres. There is also a physical motivation: one would like to construct a noncommutative topological quantum field theory. The two motivations are closely related since in the commutative case at least, Floer Homology Groups are part of a certain (3+1)-dim Topological Quantum Field Theory.
