State-integral partition functions on shaped triangulations (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Quantum Teichm\\"uller theory can be promoted to a
generalized TQFT within the combinatorial framework of shaped
triangulations with the tetrahedral weight functions given in
terms of the Weil-Gelfand-Zak transformation of Faddeev.FN"s
quantum dilogarithm. By using simple examples, I will
illustrate the connection of this theory with the hyperbolic
geometry in three dimensions.
