Can you recommend to me good references on this action? From basics to more advanced stuff.

@Qmechanic this question is much more specific than the general question asking generally about topological QFT, so IMHO it is not a duplicate. – Dilaton Jan 16 '14 at 11:38

Abelian CS is usually the first TFT to learn. OP would have to be more specific for this not to be a duplicate. – Qmechanic Jan 16 '14 at 13:56
Yes; in particular, it should have an explanation of why a generic reference on topological QFT is insufficient for what MathematicalPhysicist is looking for. So the question could be edited so as not to be a duplicate, but in its current form, I think it is a duplicate. – David Z Jan 17 '14 at 02:47
