Quantum Invariants of Ribbon Surfaces in -Dimensional -Handlebodies
Anna Beliakova, Marco De Renzi, Quentin Faes
We use unimodular ribbon categories to construct quantum invariants of ribbon surfaces in -dimensional -handlebodies up to -isotopy. In the process, we recover invariants…

Algebraic Presentation of -Dimensional -Handlebodies and -Dimensional Cobordisms
Anna Beliakova, Ivelina Bobtcheva, Marco De Renzi +1
In this paper, we give a new direct proof of a result by Bobtcheva and Piergallini that provides finite algebraic presentations of two categories, denoted and $4\ma…
