On the Turaev-Viro endomorphism, and the colored Jones polynomial

open access: yes, 2012
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.

Asymptotics of quantum 6j$6j$‐symbols and generalized hyperbolic tetrahedra

open access: yesJournal of Topology, Volume 18, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract We establish the geometry behind the quantum 6j$6j$‐symbols under only the admissibility conditions as in the definition of the Turaev–Viro invariants of 3‐manifolds. As a classification, we show that the 6‐tuples in the quantum 6j$6j$‐symbols give in a precise way to the dihedral angles of (1) a spherical tetrahedron, (2) a generalized ...

Computing Turaev-Viro invariants for 3-manifolds

open access: yesManuscripta Mathematica, 1991
This note outlines a scheme to compute the Turaev-Viro invariants of a closed 3-manifold, and tabulates the values of the invariant corresponding to certain 8th roots of unity for a number of manifolds.

(3+1)-dimensional topological phases and self-dual quantum geometries encoded on Heegard surfaces

open access: yes, 2017
We apply the recently suggested strategy to lift state spaces and operators for (2+1)-dimensional topological quantum field theories to state spaces and operators for a (3+1)-dimensional TQFT with defects.

Colored Turaev–Viro invariants of twist knots

open access: yesTopology and its Applications, 2009
This paper presents formulae for the colored Turaev-Viro invariants [introduced by \textit{J. Barrett, J. Martins} and \textit{J. García-Islas}, J. Math. Phys. 48, No.~9, 093508, 18~p. (2007; Zbl 1152.81328)] of twist knots. These formulae are obtained by a fairly lengthy computation which uses the description of the colored Turaev-Viro invariants as a

Asymptotic Behavior of Colored Jones polynomial and Turaev-Viro Invariant of figure eight knot

open access: yes, 2020
In this paper we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the colored Jones polynomials and the Turaev-Viro invariants for the figure eight knot. More precisely, we consider the $M$-th colored Jones polynomials evaluated at $(N+1/2)$-th root of unity with ...

Braiding and entanglement in spin networks: a combinatorial approach to topological phases

open access: yes, 2008
The spin network quantum simulator relies on the su(2) representation ring (or its q-deformed counterpart at q= root of unity) and its basic features naturally include (multipartite) entanglement and braiding.

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 ...

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}) .
