在[41]中,维滕发现了琼斯多项式[15,163]和规范理论之间的复杂关系。(See也预言文章由Atiyah [2]。虽然他的方法使用费曼路径积分的量子场论,维滕给出了令人信服的论点,一个可行的组合方法可以作出严格的使用方法的手术。他的发现包括新的3-流形不变量(有时称为Jones-W&en不变量),其存在性首先由Reshetikhin和Turaev [30]使用量子群和Kirby手术演算[19]证明(参见[20])。Kohno [21]、Turaev和Viro 1361、Lickorish [22,23]、作者[lo]、Morton和Strickland [29]、Wenzl [40]、Turaev和Wenzl [35]开发了相关不变量的其他组合方法。根据维滕,他的不变量应该属于拓扑量子场理论(TQFT)。这个概念是公理化的Atiyah等人。[38][39][39]。特别地,流形C的状态形成埃尔米特向量空间V(E)(更一般地,V(x)是交换环k上具有单位和对合的模),并且从x1到&的配边M诱导从V(&)到V(&)的转换(k-线性映射),记为Zy。我们知道V(0)是基环k,所以如果aA= C(即A4是从0到x的配边),我们得到V(x)中的向量Z(M),由Z(M)= Z,(1)给出。因此,M诱导8 M的状态。特别地,如果M是封闭的,则Z(M)(也用(M)表示以与物理学家的期望值符号保持一致)位于V(0)= k中,使得TQFT根据其本质产生
IN [41], Witten has made the remarkable discovery of an intricate relationship between the Jones polynomial [15, 163 and gauge theory.(See also the prophetical article by Atiyah [2].) Although his approach uses the Feynman path integral of Quantum Field Theory, Witten gave convincing arguments that a viable combinatorial approach could be made rigorous using the method of surgery. His discovery includes new 3-manifold invariants (sometimes called Jones-W&en invariants), whose existence was first proven by Reshetikhin and Turaev [30] using quantum groups and Kirby’s surgery calculus [19](see also [20]). Other combinatorial approaches for related invariants were developed by Kohno [21], Turaev and Viro 1361, Lickorish [22, 23], the authors [lo], Morton and Strickland [29], Wenzl [40], Turaev and Wenzl [35].According to Witten, his invariants should belong to a topological quantumfield theory (TQFT). This notion was axiomatized by Atiyah et al.[6, 3](see also [38]). In particular, the states of a manifold, C, form a hermitian vector space, V (E)(more generally V (x) is a module over a commutative ring k with unit and involution), and a cobordism M from x1 to & induces a transition (k-linear map), denoted Zy, from V (&) to V (&). One has that V (0) is the ground ring k, so that if aA= C (ie, A4 is a cobordism from 0 to x), one obtains a vector Z (M) in V (x), given by Z (M)= Z,(l). Thus, M induces a state of 8M. In particular, if M is closed, Z (M)(also denoted by (M) in keeping with the physicists’ expectation value notation) lies in V (0)= k, so that TQFTs, by their very nature, yield
