Deligne-Beilinson cohomology and abelian link invariants: torsion case
For the abelian Chern-Simons field theory, we consider the quantum functional
integration over the Deligne-Beilinson cohomology classes and present an
explicit path-integral non-perturbative computation of the Chern-Simons link
invariants in , a toy example of 3-manifold with
torsion
