Abstract

Starting from considering deeper relationship between conjugacy classes and irreducible representations of a finite group GG, we find some quite simple RR-matrice defined by using finite groups. This construction produces many sets (or topological spaces) admitting braid group actions. We introduce conceptions "extended RR-matrix" and "generalized extended RR-matrix" generalizing Turaev's enhanced RR-matrix, which can still give invariants of oriented links. With these new frames, we show that above RR-matrix, together with certain commuting pairs (essentially conjugacy classes of commuting pairs ) of GG can give integer invariants of oriented links. We construct some group dominating these integer invariants and prove these groups are link invariant by themselves. Using the language of the (colored) tangle category, we extended above invariant to invariant of links and ribbon links colored by commuting pairs. We show given a oriented link diagram LL, a suitable weighted sum of above invariant on all kinds of coloring of LL (by conjugacy classes of GG) is invariant under both two types of Kirby moves, thus giving a invariant for closed three manifolds. We define a group dominating those invariants, and prove this group is a three manifold invariant by itself.
