Mathematical physics

a quantum field theory whose correlation functions do not depend on the metric, axiomatized as a functor from cobordisms to vector spaces.

In mathematical physics, topological quantum field theory refers to a quantum field theory whose correlation functions do not depend on the metric, axiomatized as a functor from cobordisms to vector spaces. This meaning comes from Atiyah (1988) in Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS.[1]
