TQFT versus RCFT: 3-d topological invariants
Abstract
A straightforward relationship between the two approaches to 3-dimensional topological invariants, one of them put forward by Witten in the framework of topological quantum field theory, and the second one proposed by Kohno in terms of rational conformal field theory, is established.
