We define a HOMFLY version of the category $\text{Rep}_q\text{P}$ of quantum representations of a parabolic subgroup $\text{P}\subseteq\text{GL}_{m+n}$ of block triangular matrices. Alongside this category, we construct functors that…
We define a renormalized characteristic class for Einstein asymptotically complex hyperbolic (ACHE) manifolds of dimension 4: for any such manifold, the polynomial in the curvature associated to the characteristic class euler-3signature is…
We give a short introduction to the theory of twisted Alexander polynomials of a 3--manifold associated to a representation of its fundamental group. We summarize their formal properties and we explain their relationship to twisted…
We prove that for any non-trivial knot K, infinitely many r-surgeries K(r) along K have a unique surgery description along a knot. Moreover, we show that for any hyperbolic L-space knot K and infinitely many integer slopes n, the manifold…
The classical abelian invariants of a knot are the Alexander module, which is the first homology group of the the unique infinite cyclic covering space of S^3-K, considered as a module over the (commutative) Laurent polynomial ring, and the…
We introduce new topological quantum invariants of compact oriented 3-manifolds with boundary where the boundary is a disjoint union of two identical surfaces. The invariants are constructed via surgery on manifolds of the form $F \times I$…
A new quantum gauge model is proposed. From this quantum gauge model we derive a quantum invariant of 3-manifolds. We show that this quantum invariant of 3-manifolds gives a classification of closed (orientable and connected) 3-manifolds.…
Using the skew-Hopf pairing, we obtain $\mathcal{R}$-matrix for the two-parameter quantum algebra $U_{v,t}$. We further construct a strict monoidal functor $\mathcal{T}$ from the tangle category $(\mathrm{OTa},\otimes, \emptyset)$ to the…
This work is dedicated to the consideration of the construction of a representation of braid group generators from vertex models with $N$-states, which provides a great way to study the knot invariant. An algebraic formula is proposed for…
We characterize sequences of Kleinian surface groups with convergent subsequences in terms of the asymptotic behavior of the ending invariants of the associated hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Asymptotic behavior of end invariants in a convergent…
We construct a family of hyperbolic link complements by gluing tangles along totally geodesic four-punctured spheres, then investigate the commensurability relation among its members. Those with different volume are incommensurable,…
We introduce a triple coproduct for knots on surfaces, providing a commutative framework that decomposes a single-component diagram into three components (Section 2). This construction is motivated by the interplay between intersection…
This paper is a representation-theoretic extension of Part I. It has been inspired by three recent developments: surface cluster algebras studied by Fomin-Shapiro-Thurston, the mutation theory of quivers with potentials initiated by…
We calculate the Chern-Simons invariants of the twist knot orbifolds using the Schl\"{a}fli formula for the generalized Chern-Simons function on the family of the twist knot cone-manifold structures. Following the general instruction of…
Given a knot $K$ and a generic slope $r$, we study the Kauffman bracket skein module (KBSM) $S(E_K (r) , \mathbb{Q} (A))$ of the Dehn filling $E_K (r)$ of slope $r$ along $K$, assuming that the KBSM $S(E_K , \mathbb{Q} [A^{\pm 1}])$ of the…
Invariants for framed links in $S^3$ obtained from Chern-Simons gauge field theory based on an arbitrary gauge group (semi-simple) have been used to construct a three-manifold invariant. This is a generalization of a similar construction…
We continue our study of noncommutative resolutions of Coulomb branches in the case of quiver gauge theories. These include the Slodowy slices in type A and symmetric powers in $\mathbb{C}^2$ as special cases. These resolutions are based on…
We define an infinite sequence of new invariants, delta_n, of a group G that measure the size of the successive quotients of the derived series of G. In the case that G is the fundamental group of a 3-manifold, we obtain new 3-manifold…
In this paper, we investigate the space of certain weak stability conditions on the triangulated category of D0-D2-D6 bound states on a smooth projective Calabi-Yau 3-fold. In the case of a quintic 3-fold, the resulting space is interpreted…
This is a survey paper on algorithms for solving problems in 3-dimensional topology. In particular, it discusses Haken's approach to the recognition of the unknot, and recent variations.
