Interlacing algebra, topology, and quantum physics, topological quantum field theories are framed as symmetric monoidal functors mapping cobordism categories to vector spaces. Using Dijkgraaf–Witten examples, the text introduces category theory, Hopf algebras, and tensor categories to link core concepts with research.
