1. Seminar talk by Kijowskiego from the last year
2. Related topic on variational principle.
Abstract: Topological quantum field theories that are metric independent, like, e.g., Chern-Simons theory, give topological invariants of manifolds and knots. Classical field theories of Kijowski and Sławianowski are metric independent, and are defined on manifolds of a priori any dimension, and thus may give new topological invariants of manifolds.
In this talk, I will try to make a friendly introduction to these theories.
