Quantum invariants of periodic links and periodic 3-manifolds

Qi Chen, Thang Le (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We give criteria for framed links and 3-manifolds to be periodic of prime order. As applications we show that the Poincaré sphere is of periodicity 2, 3, 5 only and the Brieskorn sphere Σ(2,3,7) is of periodicity 2, 3, 7 only.

A gauge-field approach to 3- and 4-manifold invariants

Bogusław Broda (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

An approach to construction of topological invariants of the Reshetikhin-Turaev-Witten type of 3- and 4-dimensional manifolds in the framework of SU(2) Chern-Simons gauge theory and its hidden (quantum) gauge symmetry is presented.
