HEEGAARD GENUS, CUT NUMBER, WEAK p-CONGRUENCE, AND QUANTUM INVARIANTS
نویسنده
چکیده
We use quantum invariants to define a 3-manifold invariant jp which lies in the non-negative integers. We relate jp to the Heegard genus, and the cut number. We show that jp is an invariant of weak p-congruence.

Congruence and Quantum Invariants of 3-manifolds
Let f be an integer greater than one. We study three progressively finer equivalence relations on closed 3-manifolds generated by Dehn surgery with denominator f : weak f -congruence, f -congruence, and strong f -congruence. If f is odd, weak f -congruence preserves the ring structure on cohomology with Zf -coefficients. We show that strong f -congruence coincides with a relation previously stu...
متن کاملEstimating Turaev-Viro three-manifold invariants is universal for quantum computation
The Turaev-Viro invariants are scalar topological invariants of compact, orientable 3-manifolds. We give a quantum algorithm for additively approximating Turaev-Viro invariants of a manifold presented by a Heegaard splitting. The algorithm is motivated by the relationship between topological quantum computers and (2 + 1)dimensional topological quantum field theories. Its accuracy is shown to be...
متن کاملQuantum Invariants of 3-manifolds and NP vs #P
The computational complexity class #P captures the difficulty of counting the satisfying assignments to a boolean formula. In this work, we use basic tools from quantum computation to give a proof that the SO(3) Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev (WRT) invariant of 3-manifolds is #P-hard to calculate. We then apply this result to a question about the combinatorics of Heegaard splittings, motivated by an...
متن کاملCongruence and Similarity 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 which we call similarity modulo f . If f is odd, we show that typef surgery also preserves the c...
متن کاملGromov - Witten Invariants of Some Fano Varieties
We present a recursive algorithm computing all the genus-zero Gromov-Witten invariants from a finite number of initial ones, for Fano varieties with generically tame semi-simple quantum (and small quantum) (p, p)type cohomology, whose first Chern class is a strictly positive combination of effective integral basic divisors.
