| Abstract: |
|---|
| Topological 1-dimensional field theories over a manifold M are in one-to-one correspondence with vector bundles with connections
over M. We show that topological 2-dimensional field theories over M are characterized by vector bundles with connections over LM,
the loop space of M, satisfying some "Frobenius properties". |
