11 |
submanifold of $X$, then $X \setmin Y$ implicitly means the closure |

%Fix a top dimension $n$, and a symmetric monoidal category $\cS$ whose objects are sets. While reading the definition, you should just think about the case $\cS = \Set$ with cartesian product, until you reach the discussion of a \emph{linear system of fields} later in this section, where $\cS = \Vect$, and \S \ref{sec:homological-fields}, where $\cS = \Kom$. |

\item The subset $\cC_n(X;c)$ of top fields with a given boundary condition is an object in our symmetric monoidal category $\cS$. (This condition is of course trivial when $\cS = \Set$.) If the objects are sets with extra structure (e.g. $\cS = \Vect$ or $\Kom$), then this extra structure is considered part of the definition of $\cC_n$. Any maps mentioned below between top level fields must be morphisms in $\cS$. |

There are two notations we commonly use for gluing. |
107 |
One is |
|
108 |
\[ |
|
109 |
x\sgl \deq \gl(x) \in \cC(X\sgl) , |
|
110 |
\] |
|
111 |
for $x\in\cC(X)$. |
|
112 |
The other is |
|
113 |
\[ |
|
114 |
x_1\bullet x_2 \deq \gl(x_1\otimes x_2) \in \cC(X\sgl) , |
|
115 |
\] |
|
116 |
in the case that $X = X_1 \du X_2$, with $x_i \in \cC(X_i)$. |

\subsection{Constructing a TQFT} |
293 |
||
139 | 294 |
In this subsection we briefly review the construction of a TQFT from a system of fields and local relations. |
295 |
(For more details, see \cite{kw:tqft}.) |
|
296 |
||
297 |
Let $W$ be an $n{+}1$-manifold. |
|
298 |
We can think of the path integral $Z(W)$ as assigning to each |
|
299 |
boundary condition $x\in \cC(\bd W)$ a complex number $Z(W)(x)$. |
|
300 |
In other words, $Z(W)$ lies in $\c^{\lf(\bd W)}$, the vector space of linear |
|
301 |
maps $\lf(\bd W)\to \c$. |
|
302 |
||
303 |
The locality of the TQFT implies that $Z(W)$ in fact lies in a subspace |
|
304 |
$Z(\bd W) \sub \c^{\lf(\bd W)}$ defined by local projections. |
|
305 |
The linear dual to this subspace, $A(\bd W) = Z(\bd W)^*$, |
|
306 |
can be thought of as finite linear combinations of fields modulo local relations. |
|
307 |
(In other words, $A(\bd W)$ is a sort of generalized skein module.) |
|
308 |
This is the motivation behind the definition of fields and local relations above. |
|
132 | 309 |
|
139 | 310 |
In more detail, let $X$ be an $n$-manifold. |
311 |
%To harmonize notation with the next section, |
|
312 |
%let $\bc_0(X)$ be the vector space of finite linear combinations of fields on $X$, so |
|
313 |
%$\bc_0(X) = \lf(X)$. |
|
314 |
Define $U(X) \sub \lf(X)$ to be the space of local relations in $\lf(X)$; |
|
315 |
$U(X)$ is generated by things of the form $u\bullet r$, where |
|
316 |
$u\in U(B)$ for some embedded $n$-ball $B\sub X$ and $r\in \cC(X\setmin B)$. |
|
317 |
Define |
|
318 |
\[ |
|
319 |
A(X) \deq \lf(X) / U(X) . |
|
320 |
\] |
|
321 |
(The blob complex, defined in the next section, |
|
322 |
is in some sense the derived version of $A(X)$.) |
|
323 |
If $X$ has boundary we can similarly define $A(X; c)$ for each |
|
324 |
boundary condition $c\in\cC(\bd X)$. |

325 |
|
139 | 326 |
The above construction can be extended to higher codimensions, assigning |
327 |
a $k$-category $A(Y)$ to an $n{-}k$-manifold $Y$, for $0 \le k \le n$. |
|
328 |
These invariants fit together via actions and gluing formulas. |
|
329 |
We describe only the case $k=1$ below. |
|
330 |
(The construction of the $n{+}1$-dimensional part of the theory (the path integral) |
|
331 |
requires that the starting data (fields and local relations) satisfy additional |
|
332 |
conditions. |
|
333 |
We do not assume these conditions here, so when we say ``TQFT" we mean a decapitated TQFT |
|
334 |
that lacks its $n{+}1$-dimensional part.) |

Let $Y$ be an $n{-}1$-manifold. |
337 |
Define a (linear) 1-category $A(Y)$ as follows. |
|
338 |
The objects of $A(Y)$ are $\cC(Y)$. |
|
339 |
The morphisms from $a$ to $b$ are $A(Y\times I; a, b)$, where $a$ and $b$ label the two boundary components of the cylinder $Y\times I$. |
|
340 |
Composition is given by gluing of cylinders. |

Let $X$ be an $n$-manifold with boundary and consider the collection of vector spaces |
343 |
$A(X; \cdot) \deq \{A(X; c)\}$ where $c$ ranges through $\cC(\bd X)$. |
|
344 |
This collection of vector spaces affords a representation of the category $A(\bd X)$, where |
|
345 |
the action is given by gluing a collar $\bd X\times I$ to $X$. |
|
346 |
||
347 |
Given a splitting $X = X_1 \cup_Y X_2$ of a closed $n$-manifold $X$ along an $n{-}1$-manifold $Y$, |
|
348 |
we have left and right actions of $A(Y)$ on $A(X_1; \cdot)$ and $A(X_2; \cdot)$. |
|
349 |
The gluing theorem for $n$-manifolds states that there is a natural isomorphism |
|
350 |
\[ |
|
351 |
A(X) \cong A(X_1; \cdot) \otimes_{A(Y)} A(X_2; \cdot) . |
|
352 |
