Cochain valued TQFTs from nonsemisimple modular tensor categories
Abstract:
Consider a finite modular tensor category $\mathcal A$. In [DGGPR] the authors exhibit a 3-dimensional topological field theory $Z_{\mathcal A}: \operatorname{Bord}_{\mathcal A} \to \operatorname{Vect}$, which, in the case where $\mathcal A$ is semisimple, recovers the usual Reshetikhin-Turaev TQFT. In the present work we show that this extends naturally to a TQFT $Z_{\operatorname{Ch}(\
