# Conformal Turaev-Viro theory The Conformal Turaev-Viro theory (CTV) is a method for computing the gravitational path integrals of 3d gravity that is based on the idea of [[0191 Triangulation of 3-manifolds|triangulations]]. It generalizes the conventional Turaev-Viro theory to the non-compact gauge group appropriate for 3d gravity. ## Refs - [[2025#Hartman (Jul, a)]]: CTV as a TQFT - [[2025#Hartman (Jul, b)]]: CTV and the gravitational path integral - [[2026#Jafferis, Wang]]: CTV as a special case of the open Virasoro TQFT ## Related topics - [[0191 Triangulation of 3-manifolds]]
