چکیده

In [5] Frohman and Nicas define a topological quantum field theory via the intersection homology of U(1)-representation varieties J(X) = Hom(π1(X), U(1)). We show that this TQFT is equivalent to the combinatorially constructed Hennings-TQFT based on the quasitriangular Hopf algebra N = Z/2 ⋉ ∧ ∗ R. The natural SL(2,R)-action on N is identified with the SL(2,R)action for the Lefschetz decomposition of H∗(J(Σ)) implied by the Kähler structure on J(Σ) for a surface, Σ. We compare peculiarities of both theories, such as the Z/2-projectivity and vanishing phenomena due to non-semisimplicty. This equivalence induces a graded Hopf algebra structure on H∗(J(Σ)), which is isomorphic to the canonical one but at the same time compatible with the Hard-Lefschetz decomposition. We discuss generalizations to higher rank gauge theories and a relation between the semisimple and non-semisimple TQFT’s associated to quantum sl2. 1

Homology TQFT’s and the Alexander-Reidemeister Invariant of 3-Manifolds via Hopf Algebras and Skein Theory

We develop an explicit skein theoretical algorithm to compute the Alexander polynomial of a 3-manifold from a surgery presentation employing the methods used in the construction of quantum invariants of 3-manifolds. As a prerequisite we establish and prove a rather unexpected equivalence between the topological quantum field theory constructed by Frohman and Nicas using the homology of U(1)repr...

On the cyclic Homology of multiplier Hopf algebras

In this paper, we will study the theory of cyclic homology for regular multiplier Hopf algebras. We associate a cyclic module to a triple $(mathcal{R},mathcal{H},mathcal{X})$ consisting of a regular multiplier Hopf algebra $mathcal{H}$, a left $mathcal{H}$-comodule algebra $mathcal{R}$, and a unital left $mathcal{H}$-module $mathcal{X}$ which is also a unital algebra. First, we construct a para...

On the Connectivity of Cobordisms and Half-Projective TQFT’s

We consider a generalization of the axioms of a TQFT, so called half-projective TQFT’s, where we inserted an anomaly, xμ0 , in the composition law. Here μ0 is a coboundary (in a group cohomological sense) on the cobordism categories with non-negative, integer values. The element x of the ring over which the TQFT is defined does not have to be invertible. In particular, it may be zero. This modi...

The Lazy Homology of a Hopf Algebra

To any Hopf algebra H we associate two commutative Hopf algebras Hl1(H) and Hl2(H), which we call the lazy homology Hopf algebras of H . These Hopf algebras are built in such a way that they are “predual” to the lazy cohomology groups based on the so-called lazy cocycles. We establish two universal coefficient theorems relating the lazy cohomology to the lazy homology and we compute the lazy ho...

A New Cyclic Module for Hopf Algebras

We define a new cyclic module, dual to the Connes-Moscovici cyclic module, for Hopf algebras, and give a characteristric map for coactions of Hopf algebras. We also compute the resulting cyclic homology for cocommutative Hopf algebras, and some quantum groups.
