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

Researchers determine quantum filtration structure of torus links.

We investigate aspects of Kauffman bracket skein algebras of surfaces and modules of 3-manifolds using quantum torus methods. These methods come in two flavors: embedding the skein algebra into a quantum torus related to quantum Teichmuller space, or filtering the algebra and obtaining an associated graded algebra that…

Study on quantum invariants from surgeries on torus knots.

Quantum theory uses modular group representations to assign invariants to 3-manifolds.

Quantum modularity proven for specific theta series.

We establish a relation between the trace evaluation in SO(3) topological quantum field theory and evaluations of a topological Tutte polynomial. As an application, a generalization of the Tutte golden identity is proved for graphs on the torus.

We study the asymptotic behaviour of the quantum representations of the modular group in the large level limit. We prove that each element of the modular group acts as a Fourier integral operator. This provides a link between the classical and quantum Chern-Simons theories for the torus. From this result we deduce the …

The volume conjecture is extended for surface diffeomorphisms with quantum invariants.

Let G be a simple complex algebraic group and g its Lie algebra. We show that the g-Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev quantum invariants determine a deformation-quantization, C_q[X_G(torus)], of the coordinate ring of the G-character variety of the torus. We prove that this deformation is in the direction of the Goldman's brac…

Study reveals connection between torus links and logarithmic VOAs.

We examine on the static and dynamical properties of quantum knots in a Bose-Einstein condensate. In particular, we consider the Gross-Pitaevskii model and revise a technique to construct ab initio the condensate wave-function of a generic torus knot. After analysing its excitation energy, we study its dynamics relatin…

Study proves Hecke lifting conjecture for torus knots and verifies it for any framed knots.

In this paper we describe progress made toward the construction of the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev theory of knot invariants from the geometric point of view. This is done in the perspective of a joint result of the author with A. Uribe which relates the quantum group and the Weyl quantizations of the moduli space of fla…

Polynomial algorithm for multiplication on one-hole torus skein algebra.

Researchers found algorithms to construct toric mosaics and set upper bounds for their numbers.

In a noncommutative torus, effect of perturbation by inner derivation on the associated quantum stochastic process and geometric parameters like volume and scalar curvature have been studied. Cohomological calculations show that the above perturbation produces new spectral triples. Also for the Weyl C^*-algebra, the La…

We build metrized quantum vector bundles, over a generically transcendental quantum torus, from Riemannian metrics, using Rosenberg's Levi-Civita connections for these metrics. We also prove that two metrized quantum vector bundles, corresponding to positive scalar multiples of a Riemannian metric, have distance zero b…

An earlier article with Francis Bonahon introduced new invariants for pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphisms of surface, based on the representation theory of the quantum Teichmuller space. We explicity compute these quantum hyperbolic invariants in the case of the 1-puncture torus and the 4-puncture sphere.

Develops quantum character theory for complex reductive groups.

The colored HOMFLY polynomial is the quantum invariant of oriented links in $S^3$ associated with irreducible representations of the quantum group $U_q(\mathrm{sl}_N)$. In this paper, using an approach to calculate quantum invariants of links via cabling-projection rule, we derive a formula for the colored HOMFLY polyn…

The paper calculates intertwiners for a torus and proves a conjecture about their limits.

Study integrability of quantized six-vertex model on torus.

Quantum trace maps for surfaces are shown to be compatible under triangulations.

We study the invariant of knots in lens spaces defined from quantum Chern-Simons theory. By means of the knot operator formalism, we derive a generalization of the Rosso-Jones formula for torus knots in L(p,1). In the second part of the paper, we propose a B-model topological string theory description of torus knots in…

Study of panhandle polynomials of torus links with geometric applications.

We construct a certain cross product of two copies of the braided dual $\tilde H$ of a quasitriangular Hopf algebra $H$, which we call the elliptic double $E_H$, and which we use to construct representations of the punctured elliptic braid group extending the well-known representations of the planar braid group attache…

We show that there exist infinitely many pairs of non-homeomorphic closed oriented SOL torus bundles with the same quantum (TQFT) invariants. This follows from the arithmetic behind the conjugacy problem in $SL(2,\Z)$ and its congruence quotients, the classification of SOL (polycyclic) 3-manifold groups and an elementa…

We propose a new algorithm for Dehn surgery problem, finding exceptional Dehn filling slopes for a given hyperbolic 3-manifold with a torus boundary, using a quantum invariant called "3D index". The invariant is defined using an ideal triangulation of the cusped 3-manifold. We test the algorithm for many examples.

The state of a knot is defined in the realm of Chern-Simons topological quantum field theory as a holomorphic section on the SU(2) character manifold of the peripheral torus. We compute the asymptotics of the torus knot states in terms of the Alexander polynomial, the Reidemeister torsion and the Chern-Simons invariant…

First, we survey some results on classical and quantum dynamical systems associated with transverse Dirac operators on Riemannian foliations. Then we illustrate these results by two examples of Riemannian foliations: a foliation given by the fibers of a fibration and a linear foliation on the two-dimensional torus.

This paper outlines an approach to the non-abelian theta functions of the $SU(2)$-Chern-Simons theory with the methods used by A. Weil for studying classical theta functions. First we translate in knot theoretic language classical theta functions, the action of the finite Heisenberg group, and the discrete Fourier tran…

Study of knot complements yields quantum modularity insights.

A new polynomial invariant for links in a thickened torus exhibits volume conjecture behavior.

Quantum theory constructs a group and skein module for knot complements.

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…

We reveal an intimate connection between the quantum knot invariant for torus knot T(s,t) and the character of the minimal model M(s,t), where s and t are relatively prime integers. We show that Kashaev's invariant, i.e., the N-colored Jones polynomial at the N-th root of unity, coincides with the Eichler integral of t…

We use Khovanov homology to define families of LDPC quantum error-correcting codes: unknot codes with asymptotical parameters [[3^(2l+1)/sqrt(8πl);1;2^l]]; unlink codes with asymptotical parameters [[sqrt(2/2πl)6^l;2^l;2^l]] and (2,l)-torus link codes with asymptotical parameters [[n;1;d_n]] where d_n>\sqrt(n)/1.62.

We study quantum invariant Z(M) for cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold M. We construct this invariant based on oriented ideal triangulation of M by assigning to each tetrahedron the quantum dilogarithm function, which is introduced by Faddeev in studies of the modular double of the quantum group. Following Thurston and Neuma…

We consider an asymptotic expansion of Kashaev's invariant or the colored Jones function for the torus link T(2,2m). We shall give q-series identity related to these invariants, and show that the invariant is regarded as a limit of q being N-th root of unity of the Eichler integral of the modular form of weight 3/2.
