Abstract
In this letter, we explain how the U(1) BF measure can be related to the Fourier transform of a Dirac distribution defined on the -module of quantum fields. Then, we revisit the U(1) BF partition function with the help of this Dirac distribution and finally shed light on a natural relation between the U(1) BF and Chern-Simons theories.
