TQFT arising from subfactor
by
Marta Asaeda
University of Maryland

This talk is a survey of the relation between subfactor theory--a pair of certain C*-algebras with inclusion-- and the theory of the invariants of 3-mfds. I will talk mainly about the development after the discovery of Jones polynomial.
