Abelian TQFTS and Schr\"odinger local systems
Abstract
We construct an action of 3-cobordisms on the finite dimensional Schr\"odinger representations of the Heisenberg group by Lagrangian correspondences. In addition, we review the construction of the abelian Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT) associated with a -deformation of for any root of unity . We prove that for3-cobor\-disms compatible with Lagrangian correspondences, there is a normalization of the associated Schr\"odinger bimodule action that reproduces the abelian TQFT. The full abelian TQFT provides a projective representation of the mapping class group on the Schr\"odinger representation,which is linearizable at odd root of 1. Motivated by homology of surface configurations with Schr\"odinger representation as local coefficients, we define another projective action of on Schr\"odinger representations. We show that the latter is not linearizable by identifying the associated 2-cocycle.
