The thesis is divided into two parts one for dimension 2 and the
other for dimension 3. Part one of the thesis generalizes the de
nition of an n-dimensional HQFT in terms of a monoidal functor from
a rigid symmetric monoidal category X Cobn to any monoidal category
A. In particular, 2-dimensional HQFTs with target K(G,1) taking
values in A are generated from any Turaev G-crossed system in A and
vice-versa. This is the generalization of Turaev's theory into a
purely categorical set-up. Part two of the thesis generalizes the
concept of a group-coalgebra, Hopf group-coalgebra, crossed Hopf
group-coalgebra and quasitriangular Hopf group-coalgebra over a
group scheme. Quantum double of a crossed Hopf group-scheme
coalgebra is constructed in the a ne case and conjectured for non-a
ne case. We can construct 3-dimensional HQFTs from modular crossed
G-categories. The category of representations of a quantum double
of a crossed Hopf group-coalgebra is a ribbon(quasitriangular)
crossed group-category. Hence generates 3-dimensional HQFTs under
certain conditions if the category becomes modular. However,
systematic nding of modular crossed G-categories is largely open.
