6j-SYMBOLS, HYPERBOLIC STRUCTURES AND THE VOLUME CONJECTURE
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract. We compute the asymptotical growth rate of a large family of Uq(sl2) 6j-symbols and we interpret our results in geometric terms by relating them to the volumes of suitable hyperbolic objects. We propose an extension of S. Gukov’s generalized volume conjecture to cover the case of hyperbolic links in S or #k . We prove this conjecture for the infinite family of universal hyperbolic links.

6j –symbols, hyperbolic structures and the volume
We compute the asymptotical growth rate of a large family of Uq.sl2/ 6j –symbols and we interpret our results in geometric terms by relating them to volumes of hyperbolic truncated tetrahedra. We address a question which is strictly related with S Gukov’s generalized volume conjecture and deals with the case of hyperbolic links in connected sums of S S . We answer this question for the infinite...
متن کاملSiegel ’ s Problem in Three Dimensions
We discuss our recent solution to Siegel’s 1943 problem concerning the smallest co-volume lattices of hyperbolic 3-space. Over the last few decades the theory of Kleinian groups—discrete groups of isometries of hyperbolic 3-space—has flourished because of its intimate connectionswith low-dimensional topology and geometry and has been inspired by thediscoveries ofW. P. Thurston. The culminationm...
متن کاملHyperbolic Structures on Branched Covers over Hyperbolic Links
Using a result of Tian concerning deformation of negatively curved metrics to Einstein metrics, we conclude that, for any fixed link with hyperbolic complement, there is a class of irregular branched covering spaces, branched over that link, effectively detectable by their branching indices, which consists entirely of closed hyperbolic manifolds. Section 0 Introduction. One of the elusive compo...
متن کاملProblems around 3–manifolds
This is a personal view of some problems on minimal surfaces, Ricci flow, polyhedral geometric structures, Haken 4–manifolds, contact structures and Heegaard splittings, singular incompressible surfaces after the Hamilton–Perelman revolution. We give sets of problems based on the following themes; Minimal surfaces and hyperbolic geometry of 3–manifolds. In particular, how do minimal surfaces gi...
متن کاملFrankl's Conjecture for a subclass of semimodular lattices
In this paper, we prove Frankl's Conjecture for an upper semimodular lattice $L$ such that $|J(L)setminus A(L)| leq 3$, where $J(L)$ and $A(L)$ are the set of join-irreducible elements and the set of atoms respectively. It is known that the class of planar lattices is contained in the class of dismantlable lattices and the class of dismantlable lattices is contained in the class of lattices ha...
