    Added to BF-theory the reference that right now I am believing is the earliest one:

    Gary Horowitz, Exactly soluable diffeomorphism invariant theories Commun. Math. Phys. 125, 417-437 (1989)

    But maybe I am wrong. Does anyone have an earlier one? I saw pointers to A. Schwarz articles from the late 70s, but I am not sure if he really considered BF as such.
