A TQFT of Turaev–Viro Type on Shaped Triangulations
A shaped triangulation is a finite triangulation of an oriented pseudo-three-manifold where each tetrahedron carries dihedral angles of an ideal hyperbolic tetrahedron.

Oscillating mushrooms : adiabatic theory for a non-ergodic system [PDF]
Can elliptic islands contribute to sustained energy growth as parameters of a Hamiltonian system slowly vary with time? In this paper we show that a mushroom billiard with a periodically oscillating boundary accelerates the particle inside it ...

State-sum invariants of 3-manifolds associated to artinian semisimple tortile categories
The method of Turaev and Viro is generalized to construct state-sum invariants of 3-manifolds using an artinian semisimple tortile category as initial data.In the first two sections of this paper we lay the topological and algebraic groundwork for the ...

Gukov-Pei-Putrov-Vafa constructed $q$-series invariants called homological blocks in a physical way in order to categorify Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev (WRT) invariants and conjectured that radial limits of homological blocks are WRT invariants.

On Roberts' proof of the Turaev-Walker theorem
In this paper we discuss the beautiful idea of Justin Roberts [7] (see also [8]) to re-obtain the Turaev-Viro invariants [11] via skein theory, and re-prove elementarily the Turaev-Walker theorem [9], [10], [13]. We do this by exploiting the presentation

Turaev-Viro theory as an extended TQFT
In recent years, the application of quantum groups to the study of low-dimensional topology has become an active topic of research. In three-dimensions, these yield the well-known Reshetihkin-Turaev (RT) invariants, which are a mathematical formulation

Generalized Abelian Turaev–Viro and U(1) BF theories
We explain how it is possible to study U(1) BF theory over a connected closed oriented smooth 3-manifold in the formalism of path integral thanks to Deligne–Beilinson cohomology.

3-dimensional Gravity from the Turaev-Viro Invariant
We study the $q$-deformed su(2) spin network as a 3-dimensional quantum gravity model. We show that in the semiclassical continuum limit the Turaev-Viro invariant obtained recently defines naturally regularized path-integral $\grave{\rm a}$ la Ponzano-Regge, In which a contribution from the cosmological term is effectively included.

Invariants for turaev genus one links
The Turaev genus defines a natural filtration on knots where Turaev genus zero knots are precisely the alternating knots. We show that the signature of a Turaev genus one knot is determined by the number of components in its all-A Kaufiman state, the ...
