Refined Chern–Simons theory in genus two
Reshetikhin–Turaev (a.k.a. Chern–Simons) TQFT is a functor that associates vector spaces to two-dimensional genus [Formula: see text] surfaces and linear operators to automorphisms of surfaces. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that there exists a Macdonald [Formula: see text]-deformation — refinement — of these operators that preserves the …
