摘要
The invariants of knotted graphs which come from rational conformal field theories are reinterpreted as discrete path integrals. The degenerate case corresponding to classical SU (2) has already been interpreted as a path integral for 3D quantum gravity. A beginning is made toward extending this interpretation to the quantum case.
