A review of crossed G-structures
[ Abstract ]
We present the definition of "crossed structures" as introduced by Turaev and others a few years ago. One of the original motivations in the introduction of these structures and of the related notion of a "Homotopy Quantum Field Theory" (HQFT) was the extension of Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants to the case of flat principal bundles on 3-manifolds. We resume both this aspect of the theory and other applications in both algebra and topology and we present our results on the algebraic structures involved.
