Abelian BF theory and Turaev-Viro invariant [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Mathematical Physics, 2016
The U(1) BF quantum field theory is revisited in the light of Deligne-Beilinson cohomology. We show how the U(1) Chern-Simons partition function is related to the BF one and how the latter on its turn coincides with an abelian Turaev-Viro invariant. Significant differences compared to the non-abelian case are highlighted.

A manifestly Morita-invariant construction of Turaev–Viro invariants

open access: yesQuantum Topology
We present a state sum construction that assigns a scalar to a skeleton in a closed oriented three-dimensional manifold. The input datum is the pivotal bicategory \mathbf{Mod}^{\mathrm{sph}}(\mathcal{A}) of spherical module categories over a ...

The Turaev-viro Invariant for 3-Manifolds is a Sum of Three Invariants

open access: yesCanadian Mathematical Bulletin, 1996
AbstractWe show that every Turaev-Viro invariant for 3-manifolds is a sum of three new invariants and discuss their properties. We also find a solution of a conjecture of L. H. Kauffman and S. Lins. Tables of the invariants for closed orientable 3-manifolds of complexity ≤ 3 are presented at the end of the paper.

Algorithms and Complexity for Turaev-Viro Invariants [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied and Computational Topology, 2015
The Turaev-Viro invariants are a powerful family of topological invariants for distinguishing between different 3-manifolds. They are invaluable for mathematical software, but current algorithms to compute them require exponential time. The invariants are parameterised by an integer $r \geq 3$. We resolve the question of complexity for $r=3$ and $r=4$,

Turaev–Viro invariants and cabling operations

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics, 2023
In this paper, we study the variation of the Turaev–Viro invariants for [Formula: see text]-manifolds with toroidal boundary under the operation of attaching a [Formula: see text]-cable space. We apply our results to a conjecture of Chen and Yang which relates the asymptotics of the Turaev–Viro invariants to the simplicial volume of a compact oriented

Turaev–Viro invariants, colored Jones polynomials, and volume [PDF]

open access: yesQuantum Topology, 2018
We obtain a formula for the Turaev–Viro invariants of a link complement in terms of values of the colored Jones polynomials of the link. As an application, we give the first examples of 3-manifolds where the “large r ” asymptotics of the Turaev–Viro invariants determine the hyperbolic ...

Approximating the Turaev-Viro Invariant of Mapping Tori is Complete for One Clean Qubit [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The Turaev-Viro invariants are scalar topological invariants of three-dimensional manifolds. Here we show that the problem of estimating the Fibonacci version of the Turaev-Viro invariant of a mapping torus is a complete problem for the one clean qubit ...

Volume conjectures for the Reshetikhin–Turaev and the Turaev–Viro invariants [PDF]

open access: yesQuantum Topology, 2018
We consider the asymptotics of the Turaev–Viro and the Reshetikhin–Turaev invariants of a hyperbolic 3-manifold, evaluated at the root of unity exp ({2\pi\sqrt{-1}}/{r}) instead of the standard exp ({\pi\sqrt{-1}}/{r}) .
