Abstract

In this article, we discuss a (2+1)–dimensional topological quantum field theory, for short TQFT, with a Verlinde basis. As a conclusion of this general theory, we have a Dehn surgery formula. We show that Turaev–Viro–Ocneanu TQFT has a Verlinde basis. Several applications of this theorem are exposed. Based on Izumi's data of subfactors, we list several computations of Turaev–Viro–Ocneanu invariants for some 3–manifolds.
