Quantum Teichmüller spaces and Kashaev’s 6j –symbols
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Kashaev invariants of 3–manifolds are based on 6j –symbols from the representation theory of the Weyl algebra, a Hopf algebra corresponding to the Borel subalgebra of Uq.sl.2;C// . In this paper, we show that Kashaev’s 6j –symbols are intertwining operators of local representations of quantum Teichmüller spaces. This relates Kashaev’s work with the theory of quantum Teichmüller space, which was developed by Chekhov–Fock, Kashaev and continued by Bonahon–Liu.

Generalized volume and geometric structure of 3-manifolds
For several hyperbolic knots, a relation between certain quantum invariants and the volume of their complements are discovered by R. Kashaev in [2]. In [6], it is shown that Kashaev’s invariants are specializations of the colored Jones polynomials. Kashaev used the saddle point method to obtain certain limit of invariants, and Y. Yokota proved that the equations to determine the saddle points c...
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 کاملAN ELEMENTARY APPROACH TO 6j-SYMBOLS (CLASSICAL, QUANTUM, RATIONAL, TRIGONOMETRIC, AND ELLIPTIC)
Elliptic 6j-symbols first appeared in connection with solvable models of statistical mechanics. They include many interesting limit cases, such as quantum 6j-symbols (or q-Racah polynomials) and Wilson’s biorthogonal 10W9 functions. We give an elementary construction of elliptic 6j-symbols, which immediately implies several of their main properties. As a consequence, we obtain a new algebraic i...
متن کاملAnalysis on the Su ( 2 ) Dynamical Quantum Group
Dynamical quantum groups were recently introduced by Etingof and Varchenko as an algebraic framework for studying the dynamical Yang–Baxter equation, which is precisely the Yang–Baxter equation satisfied by 6j-symbols. We investigate one of the simplest examples, generalizing the standard SU(2) quantum group. The matrix elements for its corepresentations are identified with Askey–Wilson polynom...
