48 results for Turaev-Viro TQFT

We show that for every spherical category $\C$ with invertible dimension, the Turaev-Viro TQFT admits a splitting into blocks which come from an HQFT, called the Turaev-Viro HQFT. The Turaev-Viro HQFT has the classifying space $B\grad$ as target space, where $\grad$ is a group obtained from the category $\C$. This cons…

In this paper, we examine Kitaev's lattice model for an arbitrary complex, semisimple Hopf algebra. We prove that this model gives the same topological invariants as Turaev-Viro theory. Using the description of Turaev-Viro theory as an extended TQFT, we prove that the excited states of the Kitaev model correspond to Tu…

In this paper we show how one can extend Turaev-Viro invariants, defined for an arbitrary spherical fusion category CC, to 3-manifolds with corners. We demonstrate that this gives an extended TQFT which conjecturally coincides with the Reshetikhin-Turaev TQFT corresponding to the Drinfeld center Z(C)Z(C). In the present…

We work in the reduced SU(N,K) modular category as constructed recently by Blanchet. We define spin type and cohomological refinements of the Turaev-Viro invariants of closed oriented 3-manifolds and give a formula relating them to Blanchet's invariants. Roberts' definition of the Turaev-Viro state sum is exploited. Fu…

In a previous work arXiv:0903.4512, we have built an homotopical Turaev-Viro invariant and an HQFT from the universal graduation of a spherical category. In the present paper, we show that every graduation (G,p)(G,p) of a spherical category $\C$ defines an homotopical Turaev-Viro invariant $HTV_{\C}^{(G,p)}$ and an HQFT $…

Let C be a spherical fusion category. We prove that the Turaev-Viro-Barrett-Westbury state sum invariant of 3-manifolds derived from C is equal to the Reshetikhin-Turaev surgery invariant of 3-manifolds derived from Z(C), where Z(C) is the Drinfeld-Joyal-Street center of C.

It has been conjectured that every (2+1)(2+1)-TQFT is a Chern-Simons-Witten (CSW) theory labelled by a pair (G,λ)(G,λ), where GG is a compact Lie group, and λH4(BG;Z)λ\in H^4(BG;Z) a cohomology class. We study two TQFTs constructed from Jones' subfactor theory which are believed to be counterexamples to this conjecture: one is the…

Given a TQFT in dimension d+1, and an infinite cyclic covering of a closed (d+1)-dimensional manifold M, we define an invariant taking values in a strong shift equivalence class of matrices. The notion of strong shift equivalence originated in R. Williams' work in symbolic dynamics. The Turaev-Viro module associated to…

By applying a variant of the TQFT constructed by Blanchet, Habegger, Masbaum, and Vogel, and using a construction of Ohtsuki, we define a module endomorphism for each knot K by using a tangle obtained from a surgery presentation of K. We show that it is strong shift equivalent to the Turaev-Viro endomorphism associated…

We establish a relation between the "large r" asymptotics of the Turaev-Viro invariants TVrTV_r and the Gromov norm of 3-manifolds. We show that for any orientable, compact 3-manifold MM, with (possibly empty) toroidal boundary, logTVr(M)\log |TV_r (M)| is bounded above by a function linear in rr and whose slope is a positiv…

The Turaev-Viro invariants are a powerful family of topological invariants for distinguishing between different 3-manifolds.
