We construct power series invariants of rational homology 3-spheres from quantum PSU(n)-invariants. The power series can be regarded as perturbative invariants corresponding to the contribution of the trivial connection in the hypothetical…

We propose a general theory of the Open Gromov-Witten invariant on Calabi-Yau three-folds. We introduce the moduli space of multi-curves and show how it leads to invariants. Our construction is based on an idea of Witten. In the special…

M. Kontsevich proposed a topological construction for an invariant Z of rational homology 3-spheres using configuration space integrals. G. Kuperberg and D. Thurston proved that Z is a universal real finite type invariant for integral…

The quantum modularity conjecture, first introduced by Don Zagier, is a general statement about a relation between $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ quantum invariants of links and 3-manifolds at roots of unity related by a modular transformation. In this…

We define the LMO spectrum, a categorification of the Le-Murakami-Ohtsuki (LMO) invariant for 3-manifolds, using factorization homology. The theoretical foundation is our main algebraic result (Theorem A): the algebra of Jacobi diagrams,…

In this paper we prove that the Rohlin invariant is the unique invariant inducing a homomorphism on the Torelli group. Using this result we generalize the construction of invariants of homology $3$-spheres from families of trivial…

The main target of this thesis is to solve the Perron's conjecture. This conjecture affirms that some function on the mod p Torelli group, with values in Z/p, is an invariant of mod p homology 3-spheres. In order to solve this conjecture,…

The contribution of reducible connections to the U(N) Chern-Simons invariant of a Seifert manifold $M$ can be expressed in some cases in terms of matrix integrals. We show that the U(N) evaluation of the LMO invariant of any rational…

The Malle-Navarro conjecture relates central block theoretic invariants in two inequalities. In this paper, we prove the conjecture for the 2-blocks and the unipotent 3-blocks of the general linear and unitary groups in non-defining…

An attempt is made to conceptualize the derivation as well as to facilitate the computation of Ohtsuki's rational invariants $\lambda_n$ of integral homology 3-spheres extracted from Reshetikhin-Turaev SU(2) quantum invariants. Several…

We continue the work started in part I (q-alg/9706004) and prove the invariance and universality in the class of finite type invariants of the object defined and motivated there, namely the Aarhus integral of rational homology 3-spheres.…

This is the first in a series of papers exploring the relationship between the Rohlin invariant and gauge theory. We discuss the Casson-type invariant of a 3-manifold with the integral homology of a torus, given by counting projectively…

We show that the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev SU(2) invariant and the Hennings invariant associated to the restricted quantum $sl_2$ are essentially the same for rational homology 3-spheres.

We give a general surgery formula for the Casson-Walker-Lescop invariant of closed 3-manifolds, seen as the leading term of the LMO invariant, in a purely diagrammatic and combinatorial way. This provides a new viewpoint on a formula…

In this paper, we propose $\lambda_{g}$ conjecture for Hodge integrals with target varieties. Then we establish relations between Virasoro conjecture and $\lambda_{g}$ conjecture, in particular, we prove $\lambda_{g}$ conjecture in all…

In this paper we give a new proof of the Quantum Unique Ergodicity conjecture for holomorphic integral weight modular forms on the upper half plane. The proof requires only partial results towards the Ramanujan conjecture and the shifted…

The Generalized Smale Conjecture asserts that if M is a closed 3-manifold with constant positive curvature, then the inclusion of the group of isometries into the group of diffeomorphisms is a homotopy equivalence. For the 3-sphere, this…

Continuing the work started in Part I and II of this series (see q-alg/9706004 and math.QA/9801049), we prove the relationship between the Aarhus integral and the invariant $\Omega$ (henceforth called LMO) defined by T.Q.T. Le, J. Murakami…

We attempt to define a new invariant I of (almost) Calabi-Yau 3-folds M, by counting special Lagrangian rational homology 3-spheres N in M in each 3-homology class, with a certain weight w(N) depending on the topology of N. This is…

It is proved that there exists an integer $L$ such that a framed manifold of dimension $2^l-2$, $l\le L$ has the trivial Kervaire Invariant.
