Are there non-homeomorphic 3-manifolds with the same Turaev-Viro-Barrett-Westbury invariants?
The Turaev-Viro-Barrett-Westbury invariant of a closed oriented topological $3$-manifold $M$ for a spherical fusion category $\mathcal{C}$ is a number denoted $|M|_{\mathcal{C}}$ computed from (but ...

DW, state sum models, and fully extended TQFTs
I am interested in state sum models and their relations with some other of TQFTs, especially the fully extended TQFTs and the Dijkgraaf-Witten TQFTs (generalized, in the sense that finite-group-...

Quotient of quasi-isomorphic nonpositively graded cdga's
I'm looking for a theorem about quotient of quasi-isomorphic cdga's:
Let $A, B$ be two cdga's (commutative differential $\mathbb Z$-graded algebra) concentrated in nonpositive degree, and $\mathfrak ...

$(\infty,1)$ 2d TFTs
2d topological field theories $Z : \mathrm{Cob}(2) \to \mathrm{Vect}$ are classified by commutative Frobenius algebras.
What can be said about $(\infty,1)$ 2d TFTs $Z: \mathrm{Cob}(2) \to \mathcal{S}$...

How are MTCs permuted by the Galois action on the little disk operad?
There is a well-studied action of $\operatorname{Gal}(\bar{\mathbb Q}/\mathbb Q)$ on (some version of) the $E_2$ operad; see for example this MO question.
Modular tensor categories are examples of $...

What is the relation between 2-Gerstenhaber, CohFT, and Gerstenhaber geometrically?
Background. As we know from Fred Cohen's Thesis, taking homology of the little 2-discs operad $\mathcal{D}_2$ with coefficients in a field of characteristic zero produces the Gerstenhaber operad $\...

What is the relation between cobar duality and Feynman transform
If $O$ is a cyclic operad, it can be regared as a modular operad $P$ with $P(g,n)=0$, for $g >0$. So we have cobar dual $BO$ and Feynman transform $FP$(with trivial cocycle). Is there any ...

Differential form TQFT for Walker-Wang model?
In terms of the TQFTs in continuous differential form gauge fields, what would the Walker-Wang lattice model describe? Obviously, there is a $BF$ theory part:
$$\frac{N}{2 \pi}\int B dA$$
if it ...

Embedding e_n -> e_m
Let $e_n$ be the operad of (say, rational) chains of the operad of little n-disks. Consider the natural embedding $e_n\to e_m$, where $n<m$ and $n,m>1$ induced by the embedding $\mathbb{R}^n\to \...

Identifying the little disk operad with parenthesized braids
Let $D_2$ be the topological operad of little disks. This operad can be modelled "combinatorially" in terms of an operad of groupoids called $\newcommand{\PaB}{\mathbf{PaB}}\PaB$, the operad of ...

Reference for the image of the adjoint to the differential in graph cohomology (which yields STU & IHX)?
One can define cochain complexes of (combinatorial) graphs, where each term is a vector space of linear combinations of certain (isomorphism classes of) graphs, and where the differential $d$ is a ...

Is there a version of the 2d cobordism hypothesis for surfaces with non-empty incoming and outgoing boundary?
Question: Is there a condition on an object $x$ of an $(\infty,2)$-category $\mathcal C$ which is equivalent to $x = Z(pt_+)$ for a unique TFT $Z$ from the $(\infty,2)$-category of framed bordisms ...
