Ju n 20 07 Higher Rank TQFT Representations of SL ( 2 , Z ) are Reducible

چکیده
Abstract: In this article we give examples which show that the TQFT representations of the mapping class groups derived from quantum PSU(N) for N > 2 are generically decomposable. One general decomposition of the representations is induced by the symmetry which exchanges PSU(N) representation labels by their conjugates. The respective summands of a given parity are typically still reducible into many further components.

Homology TQFT’s and the Alexander-Reidemeister Invariant of 3-Manifolds via Hopf Algebras and Skein Theory
We develop an explicit skein theoretical algorithm to compute the Alexander polynomial of a 3-manifold from a surgery presentation employing the methods used in the construction of quantum invariants of 3-manifolds. As a prerequisite we establish and prove a rather unexpected equivalence between the topological quantum field theory constructed by Frohman and Nicas using the homology of U(1)repr...
متن کاملHomology TQFT’s via Hopf Algebras
In [5] Frohman and Nicas define a topological quantum field theory via the intersection homology of U(1)-representation varieties J(X) = Hom(π1(X), U(1)). We show that this TQFT is equivalent to the combinatorially constructed Hennings-TQFT based on the quasitriangular Hopf algebra N = Z/2 ⋉ ∧ ∗ R. The natural SL(2,R)-action on N is identified with the SL(2,R)action for the Lefschetz decomposit...

The Zimmer program refers to a number of questions and conjectures posed by Robert Zimmer in the 1980s concerning smooth actions of lattices in higher-rank Lie groups. We report on some recent progress by the author and collaborators. Lattices in Higher-Rank Lie Groups The primary objects inmy talk are lattices Γ in higher-rank simple Lie groups G. The simplest example of such a lattice is Γ = ...

A two-parametric deformation of U [sl(2)], its representations and complex " spin " Abstract A two-parametric deformation of U [sl(2)] and its representations are considered. This newly introduced two-parametric quantum group denoted as U pq [sl(2)] admits a class of infinite-dimensional representations which have no classical (non-deformed) and one-parametric deformation analogues, even at gen...
