topological field theory
A topological field theory is a mathematical framework used to study the topological properties of spaces or manifolds, where the field theory describes the behavior of fields (such as scalar fields or vector fields) on these spaces. It focuses on the topological structure rather than the geometric details of the space, making it a powerful tool for understanding the global properties of these spaces.
