Graph Invariants of Vassiliev Type and Application to 4D Quantum Gravity
We consider a special class of Kauffman’s graph invariants of rigid vertex isotopy (graph invariants of Vassiliev type). They are given by a functor from a category of colored and oriented graphs embedded into a 3-space to a category of representations of the quasi-triangular ribbon Hopf algebra Uq(sl(2, C)). Coefficients in expansions of them with respect to x (q = e) are known as the Vassilie...
متن کاملVassiliev Invariants and the Loop States in Quantum Gravity
The purpose of this paper is to expose properties of Vassiliev invariants by using the simplest of the approaches to the functional integral definition of link invariants. These methods are strong enough to give the top row evaluations of Vassiliev invariants for the classical Lie algebras. They give an insight into the structure of these invariants without using the full perturbation expansion...
متن کاملVassiliev and Quantum Invariants of Braids
We prove that braid invariants coming from quantum gl(N) separate braids, by recalling that these invariants (properly decomposed) are all Vassiliev invariants, showing that all Vassiliev invariants of braids arise in this way, and reproving that Vassiliev invariants separate braids. We discuss some corollaries of this result and of our method of proof.
متن کاملThe Space of 3-manifolds and Vassiliev Finite-type Invariants
In this paper we develop the theory of finite-type invariants for homologically nontrivial 3-manifolds . We construct an infinite-dimensional affine space with a hypersurface in it corresponding to manifolds with Morse singularities. Connected components of the complement of this hypersurface correspond to homeomorphism type of spin 3-manifolds. This suggests the natural axiomatics of Vassiliev...
متن کاملOn Jones knot Invariants and Vassiliev Invariants
We show that the n-th derivative of a quantum group invariant, evaluated at 1, is a Vassiliev invariant while the derivative of the Jones polynomial, evaluated at a real number 6 = 1, is not a Vassiliev in variant. The coeecients of the classical Conway polynomial are known to be Vassiliev invariants. We show that the coeecients of the Jones polynomial are not vassiliev invariants.
