Combinatorics of the Teichmüller TQFT
Winter Braids VI (Lille, 2016), Winter Braids Lecture Notes (2016), Talk no. 2, 16 p.

Based on the lectures given by the author at the School on braids and low dimensional topology “Winter Braids VI”, University of Lille I, 22-25 February 2016, we review the combinatorics underlying the Teichmüller TQFT, a new type of three-dimensional TQFT with corners where the vector spaces associated with surfaces are infinite dimensional. The geometrical ingredients and the semi-classical behaviour suggest that this theory is related with hyperbolic geometry in dimension three.
