• - A brief review on some of the recent developments in topological quantum field theory. These include topological string theory, topological Yang-Mills theory and Chern-Simons gauge theory.
  
• - These are the lecture notes of a set of lectures delivered at the 1995 Trieste summer school in June. Much of the necessary background material is given, including a crash course in topological field theory, cohomology of manifolds, topological gau
  
• - Research Group on Topological Quantum Field Theories in any dimension and their relation to topological invariants. Particular attention is given to BF theories and knots in any dimension.
  
• - The objective of the Project are to use topological quantum field theories to explore low-dimensional topological objects. The field theories to be used are combinatorially and algebraically defined, and the emphasis is on numerical computation and detec
  
• - Includes links to research papers, quotations on the development of the quantum theory, brief notes on the field and related links.
  
• - A brief introduction to Topological Quantum Field Theory as well as a description of recent progress made in the field is presented. I concentrate mainly on the connection between Chern-Simons gauge theory and Vassiliev invariants, and Donalds
  
• - These lecture notes are devoted to the theory of equations of associativity describing geometry of moduli spaces of 2D topological field theories.
  
• - An attempt to unify fundamental interactions by assuming that physical spacetimes can be regarded as submanifolds of certain 8-dimensional space. Book in PDF by Matti Pitkänen, Helsinki.
  
• - A set of introductory notes on Topological Quantum Field Theories
  
• - A club which holds monthly and yearly meetings in Portugal to discuss topics in quantum field theory.
  
• - A topological quantum field theory (TQFT) is an, almost, metric independent quantum field theory that gives rise to topological invariants of the background manifold
  
• - Topological quantum field theories can be used as a powerful tool to probe geometry and topology in low dimensions. Chern-Simons theories, which are examples of such field theories, provide a field theoretic framework for the study of knots an
