The U(1) BF Quantum Field Theory is revisited in the light of Deligne-Beilinson Cohomology. We show how the U(1) Chern-Simons partition function is related to the BF one and how the latter on its turn coincides with an abelian Turaev-Viro invariant. Significant differences compared to the non-abelian case are highlighted.
The Turaev-Viro invariants are a powerful family of topological invariants for distinguishing between different 3-manifolds. They are invaluable for mathematical software, but current algorithms to compute them require exponential time. The invaria
An almost non-abelian extension of the Rieffel deformation is presented in this work. The non-abelicity comes into play by the introduction of unitary groups which are dependent of the infinitesimal generators of $SU(n)$. This extension is applied to quantum mechanics and quantum field theory.
The role played by Deligne-Beilinson cohomology in establishing the relation between Chern-Simons theory and link invariants in dimensions higher than three is investigated. Deligne-Beilinson cohomology classes provide a natural abelian Chern-Simons
We consider abelian twisted loop Toda equations associated with the complex general linear groups. The Dodd--Bullough--Mikhailov equation is a simplest particular case of the equations under consideration. We construct new soliton solutions of these
We compute some arithmetic path integrals for BF-theory over the ring of integers of a totally imaginary field, which evaluate to natural arithmetic invariants associated to $mathbb{G}_m$ and abelian varieties.
