Topological Quantum Field Theory underlying quantum hyperbolic geometry.

Coauthors: Charles Frohman, the University of Iowa

We describe the steps needed for a construction of an extended topological quantum field theory

underlying quantum hyperbolic geometry.The description of this TQFT is skein theoretic.

The main role is played by the Kauffman bracket skein algebra at a root of unity.
