We define and study Vassiliev invariants for (long) Morse knots. It is shown that there are Vassiliev invariants which can distinguish some topologically equivalent Morse knots. In particular, there is an invariant of order 3 for Morse…

Starting from considering deeper relationship between conjugacy classes and irreducible representations of a finite group $G$, we find some quite simple $R-$matrice defined by using finite groups. This construction produces many sets (or…

It is known that the Alexander polynomial detects fibered knots and 3-manifolds that fiber over the circle. In this note, we show that when the Alexander polynomial becomes inconclusive, the notion of "knot adjacency", studied in the paper…

The purpose of this paper is to give an application of the gluing theorem for special Lagrangian submanifolds of a Calabi-Yau 3-fold. We proved a gluing theorem before to smooth a codimension-two singularity of a particular special…

$\hat{Z}$ invariants of 3-manifolds were introduced as series in $q=e^{2\pi i\tau}$ in order to categorify Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants corresponding to $\tau=1/k$. However modularity properties suggest that all roots of unity are…

The theory of Gauss diagrams and Gauss diagram formulas provides convenient ways to compute knot invariants, such as coefficients of the HOMFLYPT polynomial. In \cite{4,5}, the author uses Gauss diagram formulas to find combinatorial…

In this paper, we study the variation of the Turaev--Viro invariants for $3$-manifolds with toroidal boundary under the operation of attaching a $(p,q)$-cable space. We apply our results to a conjecture of Chen and Yang which relates the…

By using the notion of a rigid R-matrix in a monoidal category and the Reshetikhin--Turaev functor on the category of tangles, we review the definition of the associated invariant of long knots. In the framework of the monoidal categories…

We provide a description of adequate categorical data to give a Turaev-Viro type state-sum construct of invariants of 3-manifolds with a system of defects, generalizing the Dijkgraaf-Witten type invariants of our earlier work. We term the…

We define a $\mathbb{Z}_2$-valued invariant for transversely-intersecting coassociative $4$-folds equipped with spin structures. Our main result shows this invariant provides an obstruction to separating two such coassociatives through a…

For a manifold with an affine connection, we prove formulas which infinitesimally quantify the gap in a certain naturally defined open geodesic quadrilateral associated to a pair of tangent vectors $u$, $v$ at a point of the manifold. We…

We construct a variant of Floer homology groups and prove a gluing formula for a variant of Donaldson invariants. As a corollary, the variant of Donaldson invariants is non-trivial for connected sums of 4-manifolds which satisfy a condition…

Given an oriented knot K in S^3 and a TQFT, Turaev and Viro defined modules somewhat analogous to the Alexander module. We work with the (V_p,Z_p) theories of Blanchet, Habegger, Masbaum and Vogel {BHMV} for p \ge 3, and consider the…

We provide explicit formulas for the integer-valued smooth concordance invariant $\upsilon(K) = \Upsilon_K(1)$ for every 3-braid knot $K$. We determine this invariant, which was defined by Ozsv\'ath, Stipsicz and Szab\'o, by constructing…

We analyse the possible ways of gluing twisted products of circles with asymptotically cylindrical Calabi-Yau manifolds to produce manifolds with holonomy G_2, thus generalising the twisted connected sum construction of Kovalev and Corti,…

We construct a non-commutative analogue of the modular vector field on a Poisson manifold for a given pair of a double bracket and a connection on a space of 1-forms. The key ingredient, the triple divergence map, is directly constructed…

We introduce and explore the relation between quivers and 3-manifolds with the topology of the knot complement. This idea can be viewed as an adaptation of the knots-quivers correspondence to Gukov-Manolescu invariants of knot complements…

In this paper, we introduce a rational $\tau$ invariant for rationally null-homologous knots in contact 3-manifolds with nontrivial Ozsv\'{a}th-Szab\'{o} contact invariants. Such an invariant is an upper bound for the sum of rational…

Motivated by the moduli theory of taut contact circles on spherical 3-manifolds, we relate taut contact circles to transversely holomorphic flows. We give an elementary survey of such 1-dimensional foliations from a topological viewpoint.…

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…
