In other words, the Chern-Simons action actually computes invariants of framed knots. One then has to "deframe" in order to arrive at the usual knot invariants. There is also a distinction to be made between "topological field theory" and "cohomological field theory", the latter computing invariants once a class of metrics (say, fixing the holonomy) has been chosen. | |
