We report on recent results of the authors concerning calculations of quantum invariants of Seifert 3-manifolds. These results include a derivation of the Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants of all oriented Seifert manifolds associated with an…
We derive formulas for the Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants of all oriented Seifert manifolds associated to an arbitrary complex finite dimensional simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ in terms of the Seifert invariants and standard data for…
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…
In this article, we obtain an asymptotic expansion formula for the relative Reshetikhin-Turaev invariant in the case that the ambient 3-manifold is gained by doing rational surgery along one component of Whitehead link. In addition, we…
We consider the asymptotics of the Turaev-Viro and the Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants of a hyperbolic $3$-manifold, evaluated at the root of unity $\exp({2\pi\sqrt{-1}}/{r})$ instead of the standard $\exp({\pi\sqrt{-1}}/{r})$. We present…
We formulate the Asymptotic Expansion Conjecture for the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev quantum invariants of closed oriented three manifolds. For finite order mapping tori, we study these quantum invariants via the geometric gauge theory…
We conjecture an upper bound on the growth of the Yokota invariant of polyhedral graphs, extending a previous result on the growth of the $6j$-symbol. Using Barrett's Fourier transform we are able to prove this conjecture in a large family…
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…
We calculate the large quantum level asymptotic expansion of the RT-invariants associated to SU(2) of all oriented Seifert 3-manifolds X with orientable base or non-orientable base with even genus. Moreover, we identify the Chern-Simons…
We prove the Turaev-Viro invariants volume conjecture for a "universal" class of cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds that produces all 3-manifolds with empty or toroidal boundary by Dehn filling. This leads to two-sided bounds on the volume of…
In this paper we engage in a general study of the asymptotic expansion of the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants of mapping tori of surface mapping class group elements. We use the geometric construction of the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev…
We establish the geometry behind the quantum $6j$-symbols under only the admissibility conditions as in the definition of the Turaev-Viro invariants of $3$-manifolds. As a classification, we show that the $6$-tuples in the quantum…
We define a relative version of the Turaev-Viro invariants for an ideally triangulated compact 3-manifold with non-empty boundary and a coloring on the edges, generalizing the Turaev-Viro invariants [35] of the manifold. We also propose the…
In this paper we construct invariants of 3-manifolds "\`a la Reshetikhin-Turaev" in the setting of non-semi-simple ribbon tensor categories. We give concrete examples of such categories which lead to a family of 3-manifold invariants…
Asymptotics of quantum $6j$ symbols corresponding to a hyperbolic tetrahedra is investigated and the first two leading terms are determined for the case that the tetrahedron has a ideal or ultra-ideal vertex. These terms are given by the…
This is the third article in a series devoted to the study of the asymptotic expansions of various quantum invariants related to the twist knots. In this paper, by using the saddle point method developed by Ohtsuki and Yokota, we obtain an…
We investigate the Reshetikhin--Turaev invariants associated to SU(2) for the 3-manifolds M obtained by doing any rational surgery along the figure 8 knot. In particular, we express these invariants in terms of certain complex double…
For a banded link $L$ in a surface times a circle, the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants are topological invariants depending on a sequence of complex $2p$-th roots of unity $(A_p)_{p\in 2\mathbb{N}}$. We show that there exists a…
Motivated by the Turaev-Viro invariant of 3-manifolds, we construct a formal topological invariant of closed, oriented 3-manifolds involving spherical tetrahedra as an application of the asymptotic formula of 6j symbols for the Quantum…
We prove the Volume Conjecture for the relative Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants proposed in [29] for all pairs (M,K) such that M\K is homeomorphic to the complement of the figure-8 knot in S^3 with almost all possible cone angles.
