Fully local Reshetikhin-Turaev theories
Daniel S. Freed, Claudia I. Scheimbauer, Constantin Teleman
Completing an arc of research initiated by Reshetikhin--Turaev and Witten, we construct fully local 3-dimensional topological field theories from non-degenerate braided fusion cate…

Discrete quantum systems from topological field theory
Daniel S. Freed, Michael J. Hopkins, Constantin Teleman
We introduce a technique to construct gapped lattice models using defects in topological field theory. We illustrate with 2+1 dimensional models, for example Chern-Simons theories.…
