This paper initiates the study of invariants of links associated to infinite-dimensional representations of $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ using graphical representation for quantum $6j$-symbols, the shadow world. We obtain formulae for…
This paper investigates the relation between colored HOMFLY-PT and Kauffman homology, $\text{SO}(N)$ quantum $6j$-symbols and $(a,t)$-deformed $F_K$. First, we present a simple rule of grading change which allows us to obtain the…
We introduce a three variable series invariant $F_K (y,z,q)$ for plumbed knot complements associated with a Lie superalgebra $sl(2|1)$. The invariant is a generalization of the $sl(2|1)$-series invariant $\hat{Z}(q)$ for closed 3-manifolds…
The cyclic quantum dilogarithm is interpreted as a cyclic 6j-symbol of the Weyl algebra, considered as a Borel subalgebra $BU_q(sl(2))$. Using modified 6j-symbols, an invariant of triangulated links in triangulated 3-manifolds is…
The Kashaev invariants of 3-manifolds are based on $6j$-symbols from the representation theory of the Weyl algebra, a Hopf algebra corresponding to the Borel subalgebra of $U_q(sl(2,\C))$. In this paper, we show that Kashaev's $6j$-symbols…
The $6j$-symbols for representations of the $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ quantum group are given by Hahn-Exton $q$-Bessel functions. This interpretation leads to several summation identities for the $q$-Bessel functions. Multivariate $q$-Bessel…
Elliptic 6j-symbols first appeared in connection with solvable models of statistical mechanics. They include many interesting limit cases, such as quantum 6j-symbols (or q-Racah polynomials) and Wilson's biorthogonal 10-W-9 functions. We…
Let $f$ be a normalized primitive Hecke eigen cusp form of even integral weight $k$ for the full modular group $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$. For integers $j \geq 2$, let $\lambda_{sym^j f}(m)$ denote the $m$th Fourier coefficient of the $j$th…
We study a class of SU(N) Wigner 6j symbols involving two fundamental representations, and derive explicit formulae for all 6j symbols in this class. Our formulae express the 6j symbols in terms of the dimensions of the involved…
We develop graphical calculation methods. Jones-Wenzl projectors for U_q(sl(2,C)) are very powerful tools to find not only invariants of links but also invariants of 3-manifolds. We find single clasp expansions of generalized Jones-Wenzl…
The physical 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ theory T[Y] was previously used to predict the existence of some 3-manifold invariants $\hat{Z}_{a}(q)$ that take the form of power series with integer coefficients, converging in the unit disk. Their radial…
The asymptotic behavior of quantum $6j$-symbols is closely related to the volume of truncated hyperideal tetrahedra\,\cite{C}, and plays a central role in understanding the asymptotics of the Turaev-Viro invariants of $3$-manifolds. In this…
Seven different triple sum formulas for $9j$ coefficients of the quantum algebra $u_q(2)$ are derived, using for these purposes the usual expansion of $q$-$9j$ coefficients in terms of $q$-$6j$ coefficients and recent summation formula of…
The $q$-multinomial coefficient, a classical object in enumerative combinatorics, counts permutations of multisets weighted by the number of inversions, with a single deformation parameter $q$. We introduce the twisted multinomial…
We define a family of quantum invariants of closed oriented $3$-manifolds using spherical multi-fusion categories. The state sum nature of this invariant leads directly to $(2+1)$-dimensional topological quantum field theories…
We study the tensor product of principal unitary representations of the quantum Lorentz group, prove a decomposition theorem and compute the associated intertwiners. We show that these intertwiners can be expressed in terms of complex…
We compute some 6j symbols in the category of polynomial representations of $GL(\infty)$.
In this paper, we study the asymptotics of the $6j$-symbols for the principal series of the modular double of $\mathrm U_q\mathfrak{sl}(2;\mathbb R)$, and of their analytic extension -- what we call the $b$-$6j$ symbols, relating them in…
We study $q$-series-valued invariants of 3-manifolds that depend on the choice of a root system $G$. This is a natural generalization of the earlier works by Gukov-Pei-Putrov-Vafa [arXiv:1701.06567] and Gukov-Manolescu [arXiv:1904.06057]…
