Unifying Themes in Topological Field Theories

arXiv:hep-th/0005180

Abstract

We discuss unifying features of topological field theories in 2, 3 and 4 dimensions. This includes relations among enumerative geometry (2d topological field theory) link invariants (3d Chern-Simons theory) and Donaldson invariants (4d topological theory).
