نویسنده
چکیده
We derive formulae which lend themselves to TQFT interpretations of the Milnor torsion, the Lescop invariant, the Casson invariant, and the Casson-Morita cocyle of a 3-manifold, and, furthermore, relate them to the Reshetikhin-Turaev theory.

متن کامل3 - manifold topology and the Donaldson - Witten partition function
We consider Donaldson-Witten theory on four-manifolds of the form X = Y ×S 1 where Y is a compact three-manifold. We show that there are interesting relations between the four-dimensional Donaldson invariants of X and certain topological invariants of Y. In particular, we reinterpret a result of Meng-Taubes relating the Seiberg-Witten invariants to Reidemeister-Milnor torsion. If b 1 (Y) > 1 we...
متن کاملHomology 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 کاملTopological Field Theories and formulae of Casson and Meng–Taubes
The goal of this paper is to give a new proof of a theorem of Meng and Taubes [9] that identifies the Seiberg–Witten invariants of 3–manifolds with Milnor torsion. The point of view here will be that of topological quantum field theory. In particular, we relate the SeibergWitten equations on a 3–manifold with the Abelian vortex equations on a Riemann surface. These techniques also give a new pr...
متن کاملSeiberg Witten Invariants of Rational Homology 3-spheres
In 1996 Meng and Taubes [16] have established a relationship between the Seiberg– Witten invariants of a (closed) 3-manifold with b1 > 0 and the Milnor torsion. A bit later Turaev, [29, 30], enhanced Meng–Taubes’ result, essentially identifying the Seiberg–Witten invariant with the refined torsion he introduced earlier in [27]. In [29] Turaev raised the question of establishing a connection bet...
