For each finite dimensional, simple, complex Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ and each root of unity $ξ$ (with some mild restriction on the order) one can define the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev (WRT) quantum invariant $τ_M^{\mathfrak g}(ξ)\in \mathbb C$ of oriented 3-manifolds $M$. In the present paper we construct an invariant…

Efficient algorithms for WRT invariants of torus bundles using algebraic structures.

In this thesis, we give a unification of the quantum WRT invariants. Given a rational homology 3-sphere M and a link L inside, we define the unified invariants, such that the evaluation of these invariants at a root of unity equals the corresponding quantum WRT invariant. In the SU(2) case, we assume the order of the f…

This paper proves a conjecture linking quantum modular forms and WRT invariants for specific graphs.

Develops Hermitian TQFTs from quantum groups, defining new topological phases.

Proof confirms Witten's conjecture for a class of 3-spheres.

In 2006 Habiro initiated a construction of generating functions for Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev (WRT) invariants known as unified WRT invariants. In a series of papers together with Irmgard Buehler and Christian Blanchet we extended his construction to a larger class of 3-manifolds. The unified invariants provide a stron…

Infinite families of quantum modular invariants for 3-manifolds are discovered.

Paper constructs new identities linking quantum invariants and modular forms.

We study the SU(2) Witten--Reshetikhin--Turaev invariant for the Seifert fibered homology spheres with M-exceptional fibers. We show that the WRT invariant can be written in terms of (differential of) the Eichler integrals of modular forms with weight 1/2 and 3/2. By use of nearly modular property of the Eichler integr…

We adapt the notion of Jacobi diagrams on surfaces (considered by Andersen-Mattes-Reshetikhin), and construct a LMO-like map that we use to compare some functoriality properties of WRT and LMO invariants.

We prove that the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev (WRT) SO(3) invariant of an arbitrary 3-manifold M is always an algebraic integer. Moreover, we give a rational surgery formula for the unified invariant dominating WRT SO(3) invariants of rational homology 3-spheres at roots of unity of order co-prime with the torsion. As an…

Study on kernels of SO(3) WRT representations for surfaces of genus g≥3.

New model for Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants using Lagrangian intersections.

In this paper we study new invariants $\widehat{Z}_{\boldsymbol{a}}(q)$ attached to plumbed $3$-manifolds that were introduced by Gukov, Pei, Putrov, and Vafa. These remarkable $q$-series at radial limits conjecturally compute WRT invariants of the corresponding plumbed $3$-manifold. Here we investigate the series $\wi…

The Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants extend the Jones polynomials of links in S^3 to invariants of links in 3-manifolds. Similarly, in a preceding paper, the authors constructed two 3-manifold invariants N_r and N^0_r which extend the Akutsu-Deguchi-Ohtsuki invariant of links in S^3 colored by complex numbers to li…

In a graph convolutional network, we assume that the graph $G$ is generated wrt some observation noise. During learning, we make small random perturbations $ΔG$ of the graph and try to improve generalization. Based on quantum information geometry, $ΔG$ can be characterized by the eigendecomposition of the graph Laplaci…

For a Seifert fibered homology sphere we show that the q-series Z-hat invariant introduced by Gukov, Pei, Putrov and Vafa is a resummation of the Ohtsuki serie. We show that for every even level k there exists a full asymptotic expansion of Z-hat for q tending to a certain k'th root of unity and in particular that the …

We prove a 20-year-old conjecture concerning two quantum invariants of three manifolds that are constructed from finite dimensional Hopf algebras, namely, the Kuperberg invariant and the Hennings-Kauffman-Radford invariant. The two invariants can be viewed as a non-semisimple generalization of the Turaev-Viro-Barrett-W…

The thesis examines the relationship between three-manifold invariants and knot theory, finding equalities and patterns.

This article pursues the study of the knot state asymptotics in the large level limit initiated in "Knot sate Asymptotics I". As a main result, we prove the Witten asymptotic expansion conjecture for the Dehn fillings of the figure eight knot. The state of a knot is defined in the realm of Chern-Simons topological quan…

Study compares WRT and CGP invariants using Habiro's series.

Proves conjecture linking WRT invariants and homological blocks for plumbed 3-manifolds.

Hikami observed a discontinuity in a WRT invariant at roots of unity.

A {\em blink} is a plane graph with a bipartition (black, gray) of its edges. Subtle classes of blinks are in 1-1 correspondence with closed, oriented and connected 3-manifolds up to orientation preserving homeomorphisms \cite{lins2013B}. Switching black and gray in a blink $B$, giving $-B$, reverses the manifold orien…

Restricts quantum representations of mapping class groups to integral coefficients.

We derive the quantum Teichmüller space, previously constructed by Kashaev and by Fock and Chekhov, from tensor products of a single canonical representation of the modular double of the quantum plane. We show that the quantum dilogarithm function appears naturally in the decomposition of the tensor square, the quantum…

The paper explores mapping class groups and their quantum field theory representations.

In recent years several adversarial attacks and defenses have been proposed. Often seemingly robust models turn out to be non-robust when more sophisticated attacks are used. One way out of this dilemma are provable robustness guarantees. While provably robust models for specific $l_p$-perturbation models have been dev…

This work constructs a finite-dimensional projective representation for a quantum Teichmüller model.

Quantum representations of mapping class groups are locally rigid at prime levels.

Proves rigidity of SU(2) and SO(3) quantum representations at prime levels.

We generalize the asymptotic faithfulness of the skein quantum $SU(2)$ representations of mapping class groups of orientable closed surfaces to skein $SU(3)$. Skein quantum representations of mapping class groups are different from the Reshetikin-Turaev ones from quantum groups or geometric quantization because they ar…

GQML uses symmetries from representation theory to improve quantum machine learning.

We construct knot invariants categorifying the quantum knot variants for all representations of quantum groups. We show that these invariants coincide with previous invariants defined by Khovanov for sl(2) and sl(3) and by Mazorchuk-Stroppel and Sussan for sl(n). Our technique uses categorifications of the tensor produ…
