Topological Invariants for Lens Spaces and Exceptional Quantum Groups
A pressing problem in the field of ‘quantum topology’ [1][2] is to understand the topological information embodied in the quantum invariants of 3-manifolds[3] [5] constructed in recent years, and to use the information to settle geometric questions. A direct way to tackle the problem is to compute these invariants for 3-manifolds of interest, then try to extract topological information from the...
متن کاملLecture 14: Link Invariants from Quantum Groups
In this lecture we explain how to construct invariants of links from representations of quantum groups. We use the representation V = L(q) of Uq(sl2) to produce the invariant known as the Jones polynomial. We start in Section 1 by recalling the basic notions of knot theory and introducing the Jones polynomial. The definition can be used to show its uniqueness but not existence. One way to prove...
متن کاملTopological quantum field theory and invariants of graphs for quantum groups
Abstract: On basis of generalized 6j-symbols we give a formulation of topological quantum field theories for 3-manifolds including observables in the form of coloured graphs. It is shown that the 6j-symbols associated with deformations of the classical groups at simple even roots of unity provide examples of this construction. Calculational methods are developed which, in particular, yield the ...
متن کاملQuantum Groups and Knot Invariants
Definition 1.1. Informally, a knot is obtained by gluing together the endpoints of a shoelace in R3, considered up to isotopy (but remembering orientation). A link is the same as a knot, but multiple shoelaces are allowed. A tangle consists of (oriented) shoelaces and two parallel sticks, an upper and a lower, which we may glue some endpoints to. In addition, we assign + and − signs to the poin...
متن کاملQuantum Algorithm, Gaussian Sums, and Topological Invariants
Certain quantum topological invariants of three manifolds can be written in the form of the Gaussian sum. It is shown that such topological invariants can be approximated efficiently by a quantum computer. The invariants discussed here are obtained as a partition function of the gauge theory on three manifolds with various gauge groups. Our algorithms are applicable to Abelian and finite gauge ...
