p–Modular TQFT's, Milnor torsion and the
Casson–Lescop invariant
Thomas Kerler
Geometry & Topology Monographs 4
(2002) 119–141
Abstract
We derive formulae which lend themselves to TQFT interpretations of the Milnor
torsion, the Lescop invariant, the Casson invariant, and the Casson–Morita cocyle
of a 3–manifold, and, furthermore, relate them to the Reshetikhin–Turaev
theory.
