Quantum $6j$-symbols linked to tetrahedra angles and volumes.

The paper connects quantum $6j$-symbols to tetrahedra volumes via discrete Fourier transforms.

We generalize the colored Alexander invariant of knots to an invariant of graphs, and we construct a face model for this invariant by using the corresponding 6j-symbol, which comes from the non-integral representations of the quantum group U_q(sl_2). We call it the SL(2, C) quantum 6j-symbol, and show its relation to t…

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 $U_q(sl(2,\C))$. In this paper, we show that Kashaev's $6j$-symbols are intertwining operators of local representations of quantum Teichmüller space…

The paper connects knot homology, quantum 6j-symbols, and complements of knots.

Asymptotics of quantum $6j$ symbols corresponding to a hyperbolic tetrahedra is investigated and the first two leading terms are determined for the case that the tetrahedron has a ideal or ultra-ideal vertex. These terms are given by the volume and the determinant of the Gram matrix of the tetrahedron. A relation to th…

Study $b$-$6j$ symbols linking anti-de Sitter tetrahedra to hyperbolic geometry.

The paper proposes and proves asymptotic expansions for quantum invariants.

We show that the renormalized quantum invariants of links and graphs in the 3-sphere, derived from tensor categories in ["Modified quantum dimensions and re-normalized link invariants", arXiv:0711.4229] lead to modified 6j-symbols and to new state sum 3-manifold invariants. We give examples of categories such that the …

We prove the Turaev-Viro invariants volume conjecture for a "universal" class of cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds that produces all 3-manifolds with empty or toroidal boundary by Dehn filling. This leads to two-sided bounds on the volume of any hyperbolic 3-manifold with empty or toroidal boundary in terms of the growth r…

We review the representation theory of the quantum group $U_εsl_2\mathbb{C}$ at a root of unity $ε$ of odd order, focusing on geometric aspects related to the 3-dimensional quantum hyperbolic field theories (QHFT). Our analysis relies on the quantum coadjoint action of De Concini-Kac-Procesi, and the theory of Heisenbe…

The Jones-Wenzl projectors play a central role in quantum topology, underlying the construction of SU(2) topological quantum field theories and quantum spin networks. We construct chain complexes whose graded Euler characteristic is the "classical" projector in the Temperley-Lieb algebra. We show that they are homotopy…

Researchers develop a new quantum invariant using a matrix dilogarithm for 3-manifolds.

Motivated by the Turaev-Viro invariant of 3-manifolds, we construct a formal topological invariant of closed, oriented 3-manifolds involving spherical tetrahedra as an application of the asymptotic formula of 6j symbols for the Quantum Enveloping Algebra of sl(2). This invariant can be considered as a spherical version…

New invariants from quantum group theory for hyperbolic 3-manifolds.

Complex $b$-$6j$ symbols relate to hyperbolic tetrahedron volumes and determinants.

Using the correspondence between Chern-Simons theories and Wess-Zumino-Witten models we present the necessary tools to calculate colored HOMFLY polynomials for hyperbolic knots. For two-bridge hyperbolic knots we derive the colored HOMFLY invariants in terms of crossing matrices of the underlying Wess-Zumino-Witten mod…

It is known that every ribbon category with unimodality allows symmetrized $6j$-symbols with full tetrahedral symmetries while a spherical category does not in general. We give an explicit counterexample for this, namely the category $\mathcal{E}$. We define the mirror conjugate symmetry of $6j$-symbols instead and sho…

Identifies 3D-index as invariant for cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds.

Proves volume conjecture for double twist knots using complexified tetrahedrons.

A spin network is a cubic ribbon graph labeled by representations of $\mathrm{SU}(2)$. Spin networks are important in various areas of Mathematics (3-dimensional Quantum Topology), Physics (Angular Momentum, Classical and Quantum Gravity) and Chemistry (Atomic Spectroscopy). The evaluation of a spin network is an integ…

Researchers found the Wigner derivative and its inverse are equal for spherical tetrahedra.

Obtaining colored HOMFLY-PT polynomials for knots from 3-strand braid carrying arbitrary $SU(N)$ representation is still tedious. For a class of rank $r$ symmetric representations, $[r]$-colored HOMFLY-PT $H_{[r]}$ evaluation becomes simpler. Recently it was shown that $H_{[r]}$, for such knots from 3-strand braid, can…

Simplified combinatorial descriptions of branched spines for 3-manifolds using primary MP move and sliding moves.

We compute the asymptotical growth rate of a large family of $U_q(sl_2)$ $6j$-symbols and we interpret our results in geometric terms by relating them to volumes of hyperbolic truncated tetrahedra. We address a question which is strictly related with S.Gukov's generalized volume conjecture and deals with the case of hy…

The paper finds formulas for a specific invariant order 7.

The paper explores the pentagon relation and its algebraic forms.

What discuss the problem of obtaining new manifold invariants via different analogues of 6j-symbols and the torsion of acyclic complexes.

We extend the notion of an ambidextrous trace on an ideal (developed by the first two authors) to the setting of a pivotal category. We show that under some conditions, these traces lead to invariants of colored spherical graphs (and so to modified 6j-symbols).

We formulate a generalization of the volume conjecture for planar graphs. Denoting by <G, c> the Kauffman bracket of the graph G whose edges are decorated by real "colors" c, the conjecture states that, under suitable conditions, certain evaluations of <G,kc> grow exponentially as k goes to infinity and the growth rate…

Simplified Ricci curvature for spherical fluid dynamics models.

The state sums defining the quantum hyperbolic invariants (QHI) of hyperbolic oriented cusped $3$-manifolds can be split in a "symmetrization" factor and a "reduced" state sum. We show that these factors are invariants on their own, that we call "symmetry defects" and "reduced QHI", provided the manifolds are endowed w…

For q a root of unity of order 2r, we give explicit formulas of a family of 3-variable Laurent polynomials J_{i,j,k} with coefficients in Z[q] that encode the 6j-symbols associated with nilpotent representations of U_qsl_2. For a given abelian group G, we use them to produce a state sum invariant tau^r(M,L,h_1,h_2) of …

Upper bound conjecture for Yokota invariant proved for polyhedral graphs.

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

The differential expansion is one of the key structures reflecting group theory properties of colored knot polynomials, which also becomes an important tool for evaluation of non-trivial Racah matrices. This makes highly desirable its extension from knots to links, which, however, requires knowledge of the $6j$-symbols…
