Hyperbolic Three-manifolds with Trivial Finite Type Invariants
We construct a hyperbolic three-manifold with trivial finite type invariants up to an arbitrarily given degree. The concept of finite type invariants for integral homology three-spheres was introduced by T. Ohtsuki in [11] including the Casson invariant [1] for the first non-trivial example. It attracts not only mathematicians but also physicists since it is closely related to E. Witten’s quant...
متن کاملThree Manifolds and Graph Invariants
We show how the Turaev–Viro invariant can be understood within the framework of Chern–Simons theory with gauge group SU(2). We also describe a new invariant for certain class of graphs by interpreting the triangulation of a manifold as a graph consisiting of crossings and vertices with three lines. We further show, for S3 and RP 3, that the Turaev-Viro invariant is the square of the absolute va...
متن کاملInvariants of Spin Three-manifolds from Chern-simons Theory and Finite-dimensional Hopf Algebras
A version of Kirby calculus for spin and framed threemanifolds is given and is used to construct invariants of spin and framed three-manifolds in two situations. The first is ribbon ∗categories which possess odd degenerate objects. This case includes the quantum groups situations corresponding to the half-integer level Chern-Simons theories conjectured to give spin TQFTs by Dijkgraaf and Witten...
متن کاملSurgery, Cohomology and Quantum Invariants of 3-manifolds
Let f be an integer greater than one. Type-f surgery is a kind of surgery along a knot in a 3-manifold which generalizes the notion of n/f surgery in a homology sphere. Such surgeries preserves the cohomology groups with Zf coefficients. Type-f surgery generates an equivalence relation on 3manifolds called f -equivalence. If f is odd, type-f surgery also preserves the cohomology ring structure ...
