Abstract

In this paper we show how one can extend Turaev-Viro invariants, defined for an arbitrary spherical fusion category CC, to 3-manifolds with corners. We demonstrate that this gives an extended TQFT which conjecturally coincides with the Reshetikhin-Turaev TQFT corresponding to the Drinfeld center Z(C)Z(C). In the present paper we give a partial proof of this statement.
