Abstract

We compute the PSL(2,C)\text{PSL}(2,\mathbb{C}) Chern-Simons partition function of a closed 3-manifold obtained from Dehn fillings of the link complement S3\L\mathbf S^3\backslash {\mathcal{L}}, where \mathcal{L}=\mathcal{K}# H is the connected sum of the knot K\mathcal {K} with the Hopf link HH. Motivated by our earlier work on topological entanglement and the reduced density matrix σ\sigma for such link complements, we wanted to determine a choice of Dehn filling so that the trace of the matrix σ\sigma becomes equal to the PSL(2,C)\text{PSL}(2,\mathbb{C}) partition function of the closed 3-manifold. We use the SnapPy program and numerical techniques to show this equivalence up to the leading order. We have given explicit results for all hyperbolic knots K\mathcal{K} up to six crossings.
