A Generalization of the Casson Invariant

Abstract

A three dimensional supergravity theory which generalizes the super IG theory of Witten and resembles the model discussed recently by Mann and Papadopoulos is displayed. The partition function is computed, and is shown to be a three-manifold invariant generalizing the Casson invariant.
