Logarithmic Knot Invariants Arising from Restricted Quantum Groups

چکیده
We construct knot invariants from the radical part of projective modules of the restricted quantum group Uq(sl2) at q = exp(π √ −1/p), and we also show a relation between these invariants and the colored Alexander invariants. These projective modules are related to logarithmic conformal field theories.

On the Vassiliev Knot Invariants
The theory of knot invariants of finite type (Vassiliev invariants) is described. These invariants turn out to be at least as powerful as the Jones polynomial and its numerous generalizations coming from various quantum groups, and it is conjectured that these invariants are precisely as powerful as those polynomials. As invariants of finite type are much easier to define and manipulate than th...
متن کاملKnot Invariants and New Quantum Field Theory
We propose a new gauge theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED) and quantum chromodynamics (QCD) from which we derive knot invariants such as the Jones polynomial. Our approach is inspired by the work of Witten who derived knot invariants from quantum field theory based on the Chern-Simon Lagrangian. From our approach we can derive new knot invariants which extend the Jones polynomial and give a...
متن کاملQuantum Fourier Transforms and the Complexity of Link Invariants for Quantum Doubles of Finite Groups
Knot and link invariants naturally arise from any braided Hopf algebra. We consider the computational complexity of the invariants arising from an elementary family of finite-dimensional Hopf algebras: quantum doubles of finite groups (denoted D(G), for a group G). These induce a rich family of knot invariants and, additionally, are directly related to topological quantum computation. Regarding...
متن کاملInvariants for 1-dimensional Cohomology Classes Arising from Tqft
Let (V,Z) be a Topological Quantum Field Theory over a field f defined on a cobordism category whose morphisms are oriented n+1-manifolds perhaps with extra structure (for example a p1 structure and banded link). Let (M,χ) be a closed oriented n+ 1-manifold M with this extra structure together with χ ∈ H1(M). Let M∞ denote the infinite cyclic cover of M given by χ. Consider a fundamental domain...
متن کاملCocycle Knot Invariants from Quandle Modules and Generalized Quandle Cohomology
Three new knot invariants are defined using cocycles of the generalized quandle homology theory that was proposed by Andruskiewitsch and Graña. We specialize that theory to the case when there is a group action on the coefficients. First, quandle modules are used to generalize Burau representations and Alexander modules for classical knots. Second, 2-cocycles valued in non-abelian groups are us...
