Perturbative expansion of Chern-Simons theory

Geometric Topology 2009-03-13 v2 Quantum Algebra

Abstract

An overview of the perturbative expansion of the Chern--Simons path integral is given. The main goal is to describe how trivalent graphs appear: as they already occur in the perturbative expansion of an analogous finite-dimensional integral, we discuss this case in detail.
