Turaev-Viro invariants as an extended TQFT II

Quantum Algebra 2010-10-07 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we present the next step in the proof that ZTV,\C=ZRT,Z(\C)Z_{TV,\C} = Z_{RT, Z(\C)}, namely that the theories give the same 3-manifold invariants. In future papers we will show that this equality extends to an equivalence of TQFTs.
