Non-associative Tangles
Following Drinfel’d, Kontsevich and Piunikhin, we study the iterated integral expression for the holonomy of the formal Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov connection, finding that by introducing non-associative tangles, tangles whose strands are grouped in some particular way, the computation of these integrals can be reduced to the computation of just two holonomies R and Φ. A category NAT of non-associat...
متن کاملInvariants of 3-manifolds from Representations of the Framed-tangle Category
We will construct a monoidal functor (”a monoidal representation”) from the category of framed tangles into the tensor category over a fixed ground vector space which is invariant under Kirby moves and so gives rise to an invariant of 3-manifolds.
متن کاملA Diagrammatic Alexander Invariant of Tangles
We give a new construction of the one-variable Alexander polynomial of an oriented knot or link, and show that it generalizes to a vector valued invariant of oriented tangles.

We give a generalization of the Reshetikhin-Turaev functor for tangles to get a combinatorial formula for the Kontsevich integral for framed oriented links. The uniqueness of the universal Vassiliev-Kontsevich invariant of framed oriented links is established. As a corollary one gets the rationality of Kontsevich integral.
متن کاملAMENABILITY OF VECTOR VALUED GROUP ALGEBRAS
The purpose of this article is to develop the notions of amenabilityfor vector valued group algebras. We prove that L1(G, A) is approximatelyweakly amenable where A is a unital separable Banach algebra. We givenecessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a left invariant meanon L∞(G, A∗), LUC(G, A∗), WAP(G, A∗) and C0(G, A∗).
