Abstract

In a previous work arXiv:0903.4512, we have built an homotopical Turaev-Viro invariant and an HQFT from the universal graduation of a spherical category. In the present paper, we show that every graduation (G,p)(G,p) of a spherical category \C\C defines an homotopical Turaev-Viro invariant HTV\C(G,p)HTV_{\C}^{(G,p)} and an HQFT \mH\C(G,p)\m{H}_{\C}^{(G,p)}. Furthermore we show that the Turaev-Viro TQFT will be split into blocks coming the HQFT \mH\C(G,p)\m{H}_{\C}^{(G,p)}. We show that this decomposition is maximal for the universal graduation of the category, which means that for every graduation (G,p)(G,p) the HQFT \mH\C(G,p)\m{H}_{\C}^{(G,p)} is split into blocks coming from the HQFT obtained from the universal graduation.
