Towards Noncommutative Topological Quantum Field Theory: New invariants for 3-manifolds
arXiv:1701.05424
Abstract
We define some new invariants for 3-manifolds using the space of taut codim-1 foliations along with various techniques from noncommutative geometry. These invariants originate from our attempt to generalise Topological Quantum Field Theories in the Noncommutative geometry / topology realm.
