Lie crossed modules and gauge-invariant actions for 2-BF theories

Joao Faria Martins, Aleksandar Mikovic

We generalize the BF theory action to the case of a general Lie crossed module , where and are non-abelian Lie groups. Our construction requires the existence of…

Spin Foam State Sums and Chern-Simons Theory

Aleksandar Mikovic, Joao Faria Martins

We review the spin foam state-sum invariants of 3-manifolds, and explain their relationship to manifold invariants coming from the Chern-Simons theory. We also explain the relation…
