For every rational homology 3-sphere with 2-torsion only we construct a unified invariant (which takes values in a certain cyclotomic completion of a polynomial ring), such that the evaluation of this invariant at any odd root of unity…

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…

An attempt is made to conceptualize the derivation as well as to facilitate the computation of Ohtsuki's rational invariants $\lambda_n$ of integral homology 3-spheres extracted from Reshetikhin-Turaev SU(2) quantum invariants. Several…

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…

We construct power series invariants of rational homology 3-spheres from quantum PSU(n)-invariants. The power series can be regarded as perturbative invariants corresponding to the contribution of the trivial connection in the hypothetical…

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 2006 Habiro initiated a construction of generating functions for Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev (WRT) invariants known as unified WRT invariants. In a series of papers together with Irmgard Buehler and Christian Blanchet we extended his…

A theory of finite type invariants for arbitrary compact oriented 3-manifolds is proposed, and illustrated through many examples arising from both classical and quantum topology. The theory is seen to be highly non-trivial even for…

For each finite dimensional, simple, complex Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ and each root of unity $\xi$ (with some mild restriction on the order) one can define the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev (WRT) quantum invariant $\tau_M^{\mathfrak g}(\xi)\in…

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…

We show that the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev SU(2) invariant and the Hennings invariant associated to the restricted quantum $sl_2$ are essentially the same for rational homology 3-spheres.

An essential goal in the study of finite type invariants of some objects (knots, manifolds) is the construction of a universal finite type invariant, universal in the sense that it contains all finite type invariants of the given objects.…

The Reshetikhin - Turaeve approach to topological invariants of three - manifolds is generalized to quantum supergroups. A general method for constructing three - manifold invariants is developed, which requires only the study of the…

We will announce some results on the values of quantum sl_2 invariants of knots and integral homology spheres. Lawrence's universal sl_2 invariant of knots takes values in a fairly small subalgebra of the center of the h-adic version of the…

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…

We prove that the quantum SO(3)-invariant of an arbitrary 3-manifold $M$ is always an algebraic integer, if the order of the quantum parameter is co-prime with the order of the torsion part of $H_1(M,\BZ)$. An even stronger integrality,…

We prove a "splicing formula" for the LMO invariant, which is the universal finite-type invariant of rational homology $3$-spheres. Specifically, if a rational homology $3$-sphere $M$ is obtained by gluing the exteriors of two framed knots…

M. Kontsevich proposed a topological construction for an invariant Z of rational homology 3-spheres using configuration space integrals. G. Kuperberg and D. Thurston proved that Z is a universal real finite type invariant for integral…

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…
