On Finite Type 3-manifold Invariants Iii: Manifold Weight Systems

چکیده
The present paper is a continuation of [Oh2] and [GL] devoted to the study of finite type invariants of integral homology 3-spheres. We introduce the notion of manifold weight systems, and show that type m invariants of integral homology 3-spheres are determined (modulo invariants of type m − 1) by their associated manifold weight systems. In particular we deduce a vanishing theorem for finite type invariants. We show that the space of manifold weight systems forms a commutative, co-commutative Hopf algebra and that the map from finite type invariants to manifold weight systems is an algebra map. We conclude with better bounds for the graded space of finite type invariants of integral homology 3-spheres.

The Alexander Polynomial and Finite Type 3-manifold Invariants
Using elementary counting methods, we calculate the universal invariant (also known as the LMO invariant) of a 3-manifold M , satisfying H1(M,Z) = Z, in terms of the Alexander polynomial of M . We show that +1 surgery on a knot in the 3-sphere induces an injective map from finite type invariants of integral homology 3-spheres to finite type invariants of knots. We also show that weight systems ...
متن کاملRozansky-Witten Weight Systems
The pairing can be viewed as giving families of invariants of hyperk\"ahler manifolds or as giving families of 3-manifold invariants. In the first approach, one hopes to derive theorems about the geometry of hyperk\"ahler manifolds (this has been initiated by Hitchin and Sawon). In the second approach, the invariants obtained are finite-type invariants, so their computation factorises into two ...
متن کاملTopological quantum field theory and hyperkähler geometry
where we regardX as a complex manifold with respect to some choice of complex structure compatible with the hyperkähler metric (precisely how these spaces depend on this choice is a subtle matter). ForX a K3 surface, Rozansky and Witten investigated the cases g = 0 and g = 1, and exhibited an action of the mapping class group in the latter case. There is a modified TQFT constructed by Murakami ...
متن کاملFinite Type Invariants of Integral Homology 3-spheres: a Survey
We are now embarrassingly rich in knot and 3-manifold invariants. We have to organize these invariants systematically and find out ways to make use of them. The theory of finite type knot invariants, or Vassiliev invariants, has been very successful in accomplishing the first task. Recently, an analogous theory of finite type invariants of integral homology 3-spheres started to emerge. The anal...
متن کاملOn 3-manifold Invariants Arising from Finite-dimensional Hopf Algebras
We reformulate Kauffman’s method of defining invariants of 3-manifolds intrinsically in terms of right integrals on certain finite dimensional Hopf algebras and define a type of universal invariants of framed tangles and invariants of 3-manifolds.
