This paper introduces quantum invariants for 3-alterfolds and proves their consistency with topological moves.
problem Quantum invariants for 3-alterfolds and their consistency with topological moves.
method Introduction of 3-alterfolds with embedded separating surfaces and spherical fusion categories.
result Quantum invariants of 3-alterfolds are consistent with topological moves and generalize invariants of 3-manifolds containing framed links.
