The Evaluation of Graphs on Surfaces for State-Sum Models with Defects

The evaluation of graphs on 2-spheres is a central ingredient of the Turaev-Viro construction of three-dimensional topological field theories. In this article, we introduce a class of graphs, called extruded graphs, relevant to the Turaev-Viro construction with general defect configurations involvin...

description The evaluation of graphs on 2-spheres is a central ingredient of the Turaev-Viro construction of three-dimensional topological field theories. In this article, we introduce a class of graphs, called extruded graphs, relevant to the Turaev-Viro construction with general defect configurations involving defects of various dimensions. We define the evaluation of extruded graphs and show that it is invariant under a set of moves. This ensures the computability and uniqueness of our evaluation.

The evaluation of graphs on 2-spheres is a central ingredient of the Turaev-Viro construction of three-dimensional topological field theories. In this article, we introduce a class of graphs, called extruded graphs, relevant to the Turaev-Viro construction with general defect configurations involving defects of various dimensions. We define the evaluation of extruded graphs and show that it is invariant under a set of moves. This ensures the computability and uniqueness of our evaluation.
We are grateful to Catherine Meusburger and Alexis Virelizier for detailed discussions and to Alexis Virelizier for insisting that extruded graphs can be dealt with as two-dimensional objects. We thank David Jaklitsch for helpful discussions and Katrin Suchowski for creating the pictures. The authors are supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) under SCHW1162/6-1; CS is partially supported under Germany’s Excellence Strategy- EXC 2121 “Quantum Universe”- 390833306. Finally, we thank the anonymous referees for their thorough reviews of the submission, which helped to improve the exposition of the results.
