Cabled Wilson Loops in BF Theories
Alberto S. Cattaneo
Abstract
A generating function for cabled Wilson loops in three-dimensional BF theories is defined, and a careful study of its behavior for vanishing cosmological constant is performed. This allows an exhaustive description of the unframed knot invariants coming from the pure BF theory based on SU(2), and in particular, it proves a conjecture relating them to the Alexander-Conway polynomial.
