Abstract
We use a Hodge decomposition and its generalization to non-abelian flat vector bundles to calculate the partition function for abelian and non-abelian BF theories in n dimensions. This enables us to provide a simple proof that the partition function is related to the Ray-Singer torsion defined on flat vector bundles for all odd-dimensional manifolds and is equal to unity for even dimensions.
