| Aug 19, 2014 at 20:21 | comment | added | Tim Porter | I find that as I read something like TQFTs that I feel the need for some additional material on .... (whatever) but rarely in the order that basic books present it however good they are and I know that Hartshorne is very good (you may need sheaves at some stage, I do not know the other book) but why not start on TQFTs, and as a side dish skim through those other sources, skimming so as to see what is there ... in case you need it. That way you get to know where to look and that is a very good piece of info to have! | |

I will try to follow your advice of 'back filling' but was still wondering if basic Algebraic Geometry (first 3 chapters of Hartshorne) and Complex Geometry (Kahler Manifolds etc Huybretchs) may be a prerequisite or can be skipped. Thanks! | |
