چکیده
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.

Monoidal 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 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 کاملInvolutory Hopf algebras and 3-manifold invariants
We establish a 3-manifold invariant for each finite-dimensional, involutory Hopf algebra. If the Hopf algebra is the group algebra of a group G, the invariant counts homomorphisms from the fundamental group of the manifold to G. The invariant can be viewed as a state model on a Heegaard diagram or a triangulation of the manifold. The computation of the invariant involves tensor products and con...
متن کاملHopf algebras and invariants of 3-manifolds
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 cl...
متن کاملInvariants of Spin Three-manifolds from Chern-simons Theory and Finite-dimensional Hopf Algebras
A version of Kirby calculus for spin and framed threemanifolds is given and is used to construct invariants of spin and framed three-manifolds in two situations. The first is ribbon ∗categories which possess odd degenerate objects. This case includes the quantum groups situations corresponding to the half-integer level Chern-Simons theories conjectured to give spin TQFTs by Dijkgraaf and Witten...
