We investigate the conjectural relations between the Reshetikhin-Turaev-Witten quantum SU(2) invariants and the volume of hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Given a finite set of sufficiently large positive integers, say J, we construct examples of…

We study the relations between the invariants $\tau_{RT}$, $\tau_{HKR}$, and $\tau_L$ of Reshetikhin-Turaev, Hennings-Kauffman-Radford, and Lyubashenko, respectively. In particular, we discuss explicitly how $\tau_L$ specializes to…

One of the first key examples of a quantum modular form, which unifies the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev (WRT) invariants of the Poincar\'e homology sphere, appears in work of Lawrence and Zagier. We show that the series they construct is one…

Quantization of the Teichm\"uller space of a non-compact Riemann surface has emerged in 1980's as an approach to three dimensional quantum gravity. For any choice of an ideal triangulation of the surface, Thurston's shear coordinate…

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.…

The quantization of the Teichm\"uller theory has led to the formulation of the so-called Teichm\"uller TQFT for 3-manifolds. In this paper we initiate the study of "supersymmetrization" of the Teichm\"uller TQFT, which we call the super…

Building on the results of [1,2], we study the resurgence of $q$-Pochhammer symbols and determine their summability and quantum modularity properties. We construct a new, infinite family of pairs of modular resurgent series from the…

We relate the semiclassical asymptotics of the 6j symbols for the representation theory of the quantized enveloping algebra U_q(sl_2) at q a primitive root of unity, or q positive real, to the geometry of non-Euclidean tetrahedra. The…

This paper introduces a novel framework for constructing invariants in $G$-equivariant birational geometry by unifying two recent approaches: the theory of atoms recently developed by Katzarkov, Kontsevich, Pantev, and Yu, and the theory of…

Let $(F,J,\omega)$ be an almost K\"ahler manifold, $\alpha$ a $J$-holomorphic action of a compact Lie group $\hat K$ on $F$, and $K$ a closed normal subgroup of $\hat K$ which leaves $\omega$ invariant. We introduce gauge theoretical…

We consider the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants or Chern-Simons partition function at or around roots of unity $q=e^{2\pi i \frac{1}{K}}$ with rational level $K=\frac{r}{s}$ where $r$ and $s$ are coprime integers. From the exact…

We prove the Novikov conjecture on oriented Cheeger spaces whose fundamental group satisfies the strong Novikov conjecture. A Cheeger space is a stratified pseudomanifold admitting, through a choice of ideal boundary conditions, an L2-de…

We revisit the definition of the 6j-symbols from the modular double of U_q(sl(2,R)), referred to as b-6j symbols. Our new results are (i) the identification of particularly natural normalization conditions, and (ii) new integral…

In this paper, we study quantum modular forms in connection to quantum invariants of plumbed 3-manifolds introduced recently by Gukov, Pei, Putrov, and Vafa. We explicitly compute these invariants for any $3$-leg star plumbing graphs whose…

We show that the complex hypergeometric function describing $6j$-symbols for $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$ group is a special degeneration of the $V$-function -- an elliptic analogue of the Euler-Gauss $_2F_1$ hypergeometric function. For this…

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…

In the generalized topological quantum field theory constructed by Andersen and Kashaev, invariants of 3-manifolds are defined given the combinatorial structure of a tetrahedral decomposition. Furthermore, a variant of the volume conjecture…

We provide a geometric construction of the boundary states for handlebodies which we in turn use to give a geometric formula for the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev quantum invariants. We then analyze the asymptotics of this invariant in the…

We study infinite dimensional generalisations of the Heisenberg doubles of the Borel half of $U_q(sl(2))$ and of $U_q(osp(1|2))$ and find associated canonical elements which satisfy pentagon equation. The former reproduces the canonical…

We reconsider the quantization of symbols defined on the product between a nilpotent Lie algebra and its dual. To keep track of the non-commutative group background, the Lie algebra is endowed with the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff product,…
