3 definitions of BF theory on homology 3-spheres

Abstract 3-dimensional BF theory with gauge group G (= Chern-Simons theory with non-compact gauge group TG) is a deceptively simple yet subtle topological gauge theory. Formally, its partition function is a sum/integral over the moduli space M $$ \mathcal{M} $$ of flat connections, weighted by the R...
