TMF-valued TQFT conjecture for four-dimensional invariants
TMF-valued TQFT conjecture for four-dimensional invariants
Let denote the invariants of closed 3- and 4-manifolds and the proposed maps associated to cobordisms, valued in modules over . TMF-valued TQFT conjecture. These invariants give rise to a -dimensional TQFT valued in modules over the ring spectrum . The construction is currently partial: the proposed cobordism maps still require extensions and further functoriality, so the existence of the full TQFT remains open.
