We show that the renormalized quantum invariants of links and graphs in the 3-sphere, derived from tensor categories in ["Modified quantum dimensions and re-normalized link invariants", arXiv:0711.4229] lead to modified 6j-symbols and to…
The 6j-symbol is a fundamental object from the re-coupling theory of SU(2) representations. In the limit of large angular momenta, its asymptotics is known to be described by the geometry of a tetrahedron with quantized lengths. This…
In the paper a simple explicit formula for an arbitrary $3j$-symbol for the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{gl}_3$ is given. More precise necessary conditions for non-vanishing of a $3j$-symbol are given, in the case when these conditions hold we…
We present several identities with a form of polynomials or rational functions that involve Pochhammer and q-Pochhammer symbols and q-binomials (i.e. Gauss polynomials). All these identities were obtained by some analytical methods based on…
The modified q-Bessel functions and the q-Bessel-Macdonald functions of the first and second kind are introduced. Their definition is based on representations as power series. Recurrence relations, the q-Wronskians, asymptotic…
On basis of generalized 6j-symbols we give a formulation of topological quantum field theories for 3-manifolds including observables in the form of coloured graphs. It is shown that the 6j-symbols associated with deformations of the…

We consider the universal solution of the Gervais-Neveu-Felder equation in the ${\cal U}_q(sl_2)$ case. We show that it has a quasi-Hopf algebra interpretation. We also recall its relation to quantum 3-j and 6-j symbols. Finally, we use…

We introduce a novel symmetry for quantum 6j-symbols, which we call the tug-the-hook symmetry. Unlike other known symmetries, it is applicable for any representations, including ones with multiplicities. We provide several evidences in…

Ten values of 12-j symbols of the first kind published earlier are challenged by values calculated with an independent Python program. The program first implements a narrow class of square roots of rational numbers, utilizing Python's…
We discuss in details the role of Wigner 6j symbol as the basic building block unifying such different fields as state sum models for quantum geometry, topological quantum field theory, statistical lattice models and quantum computing. The…
An addition and product formula for the Hahn-Exton $q$-Bessel function, previously obtained by use of a quantum group theoretic interpretation, are proved analytically. A (formal) limit transition to the Graf addition formula and…
For the Bessel function \begin{equation} \label{bessel} J_{\nu}(z) = \sum\limits_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^k \left( \frac{z}{2} \right)^{\nu+2k}}{k! \Gamma(\nu+1+k)} \end{equation} there exist several $q$-analogues. The oldest $q$-analogues…
In this paper, sums represented in (3) are studied. The expressions are derived in terms of Bessel functions of the first and second kinds and their integrals. Further, we point out the integrals can be written as a Meijer G function.
The generalization, similarly to exponential multivariate bases in the Fourier transform, of the Bessel functions to many dimensions is offered. Analogously to the Fourier transform property under the differentiation, the similar Hankel…

We generalize the colored Alexander invariant of knots to an invariant of graphs, and we construct a face model for this invariant by using the corresponding 6j-symbol, which comes from the non-integral representations of the quantum group…
