Surgical invariants of four-manifolds
arXiv:hep-th/9302092
Abstract
A new topological invariant of closed connected orientable four-dimensional manifolds is proposed. The invariant, constructed via surgery on a special link, is a four-dimensional counterpart of the celebrated SU(2) three-manifold invariant of Reshetikhin, Turaev and Witten.
