Abstract
In the talk, I would like to outline a skein theoretical construction of Reshetikhin-Turaev-Witten invariants and TQFTs(Topological quantum field theory) by Christian Blanchet, Nathan Habegger, Gregor Masbaum, and Pierre Vogel. In particular, these TQFTs provides (projective)representations of mapping class groups. If time permit, I will also discuss some generalizations and some connections to hyperbolic geometry.
