SL(2)-solution of the pentagon equation and invariants of three-dimensional manifolds

Algebraic Topology 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

Building on a classical solution to the pentagon equation, constructed earlier by the author and E.V. Martyushev and related to the flat geometry invariant under the group SL(2), we construct an algebraic complex corresponding to a triangulation of a three-manifold. In case if this complex is acyclic (which is confirmed by examples), we use it for constructing a manifold invariant .
