Abstract

We describe a family of 3d topological B-models whose target spaces are Hilbert schemes of points in C2\mathbb{C}^2. The interfaces separating theories with different numbers of points correspond to braid strands. The Hilbert space of the picture of a closed braid is the HOMFLY-PT homology of the corresponding link.
