We give a direct computational proof that the degree 1 part of the Le-Murakami-Ohtsuki invariant of a closed oriented 3-manifold M is determined by the Casson-Walker-Lescop invariant. Moreover, if the first Betti number of M is equal to 2,…
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…
Given a rational homology 3-sphere M with the first integral homology of rank b and a link L inside M, colored by odd numbers, we construct a unified invariant I_{M,L} belonging to a modification of the Habiro ring where b is inverted. Our…
We show that the perturbative ${\frak g}$ invariant of rational homology 3-spheres can be recovered from the LMO invariant for any simple Lie algebra ${\frak g}$, i.e, the LMO invariant is universal among the perturbative invariants. This…
In this thesis, we give a unification of the quantum WRT invariants. Given a rational homology 3-sphere M and a link L inside, we define the unified invariants, such that the evaluation of these invariants at a root of unity equals the…
In this paper, it is explained that a topological invariant for 3-manifold $M$ with $b_1(M)=1$ can be constructed by applying Fukaya's Morse homotopy theoretic approach for Chern--Simons perturbation theory to a local system on $M$ of…
We give a proof of the LMO conjecture which say that for any simply connectd simple Lie group $G$, the LMO invariant of rational homology 3-spheres recovers the perturvative invariant $\tau^{PG}$. By Habiro-Le theorem, this implies that the…
Let $L$ be a closed, orientable, monotone Lagrangian 3-manifold of a symplectic manifold $(M, \omega)$, for which there exists a local system such that the corresponding Lagrangian quantum homology vanishes. We show that its cohomology ring…
Link invariants, for 3-manifolds, are defined in the context of the Rozansky-Witten theory. To each knot in the link one associates a holomorphic bundle over a holomorphic symplectic manifold X. The invariants are evaluated for b_{1}(M)…
Twisted Gromov-Witten invariants are intersection numbers in moduli spaces of stable maps to a manifold or orbifold X which depend in addition on a vector bundle over X and an invertible multiplicative characteristic class. Special cases…
For rational homology 3-spheres, there exist two universal finite-type invariants: the Le-Murakami-Ohtsuki invariant and the Kontsevich-Kuperberg-Thurston invariant. These invariants take values in the same space of "Jacobi diagrams", but…
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…
In this self-contained book, following Edward Witten, Maxim Kontsevich, Greg Kuperberg and Dylan Thurston, we define an invariant Z of framed links in rational homology 3-spheres, and we study its properties. The invariant Z, which is often…
We consider the 3-manifold invariant I(M) which is defined by means of the Chern-Simons quantum field theory and which coincides with the Reshetikhin-Turaev invariant. We present some arguments and numerical results supporting the…
In this paper, we propose another characterization of the generalized mirror transformation on the quantum cohomology rings of general type projective hypersurfaces. This characterics is useful for explicit determination of the form of the…
We construct an invariant of 3-manifolds using a modification of the Kontsevich integral and Kirby's calculus. This invariant, as expected in perturbative Chern-Simon theory, takes values in the algebra of oriented 3-valent graphs. This…
A perturbative SU(3) Casson invariant $\Lambda_{SU(3)}(X)$ for integral homology 3-spheres is defined. Besides being fully perturbative, it has nice properties: (1) $4 . \Lambda_{SU(3)}(X)$ is an integer. (2) It is preseved under…
In [LMO] a 3-manifold invariant $\Omega(M)$ is constructed using a modification of the Kontsevich integral and the Kirby calculus. The invariant $\Omega$ takes values in a graded Hopf algebra of Feynman 3-valent graphs. Here we show that…
Given a closed symplectic manifold $X$, we construct Gromov-Witten-type invariants valued both in (complex) $K$-theory and in any complex-oriented cohomology theory $\mathbb{K}$ which is $K_p(n)$-local for some Morava $K$-theory $K_p(n)$.…
We consider quantum invariants of 3-manifolds associated with arbitrary simple Lie algebras. Using the symmetry principle we show how to decompose the quantum invariant as the product of two invariants, one of them is the invariant…
