Linking observables in perturbed topological field theories

Abstract

The topological antisymmetric tensor field theory in n-dimensions is perturbed by the introduction of local metric dependent interaction terms in the curvatures. The correlator describing the linking number between two surfaces in n-dimensions is shown to be not affected by the quantum corrections.
