Approximating Chern-Simons theory by finite group gauge theories
Thomas Nicosanti, Pavel Putrov, Johann Quenta-Raygada
Motivated by some previously known facts from mathematical and physics literature, we explore certain relations between 3-dimensional topological gauge theories with continuous and…

Summing over homology groups of 3-manifolds
Thomas Nicosanti, Pavel Putrov
We consider a toy model of a 3-dimensional topological quantum gravity. In this model, a contribution of a given 3-manifold is given by the partition function of an abelian Topolog…
