Hopf algebras and invariants of 3-manifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper studies invariants of 3-manifolds derived from finite dimensional Hopf algebras. The invariants are based on right integrals for the Hopf algebras. In fact, it is shown that the defining property of the right integral is an algebraic translation of a necessary condition for invariance under handle slides in the Kirby calculus. The resulting class of invariants is distinct from the class of Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants. 1991 Math. Subj. Class.: 18A10, 18D10,22E70, 57M25, 57NlO

On 3-manifold Invariants Arising from Finite-dimensional Hopf Algebras
We reformulate Kauffman’s method of defining invariants of 3-manifolds intrinsically in terms of right integrals on certain finite dimensional Hopf algebras and define a type of universal invariants of framed tangles and invariants of 3-manifolds.
متن کاملThe Equality of 3-manifold Invariants
The invariants of 3-manifolds defined by Kuperberg for involutory Hopf algebras and those defined by the authors for spherical Hopf algebras are the same for Hopf algebras on which they are both defined. Introduction The purpose of this paper is to compare two previously defined invariants of 3-manifolds. Let A be a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra over a field F with antipode S. Then if S = 1 t...
متن کاملMonoidal Morita invariants for finite group algebras
Two Hopf algebras are called monoidally Morita equivalent if module categories over them are equivalent as linear monoidal categories. We introduce monoidal Morita invariants for finite-dimensional Hopf algebras based on certain braid group representations arising from the Drinfeld double construction. As an application, we show, for any integer n, the number of elements of order n is a monoida...
متن کاملStructures and Diagrammatics of Four Dimensional Topological Lattice Field Theories
Crane and Frenkel proposed a state sum invariant for triangulated 4-manifolds. They defined and used new algebraic structures called Hopf categories for their construction. Crane and Yetter studied Hopf categories and gave some examples using group cocycles that are associated to the Drinfeld double of a finite group. In this paper we define a state sum invariant of triangulated 4-manifolds usi...
متن کاملRight integrals and invariants of three–manifolds
This paper gives a summary of our approach to invariants of three manifolds via right integrals on finite dimensional Hopf algebras and their relation to the Kirby calculus. It gives the author great pleasure to dedicate this paper to Rob Kirby on his sixtieth birthday. AMS Classification 57N10; 57M50
