The Chern-Simons invariants for the double of a compression body
نویسنده
چکیده
Given a 3-manifold that can be written as the double of a compression body, we compute the Chern-Simons critical values, and show that the moduli space of flat connections is connected when there are no reducibles.

Representations of Composite Braids and Invariants for Mutant Knots and Links in Chern - Simons Field Theories
We show that any of the new knot invariants obtained from Chern-Simons theory based on an arbitrary non-abelian gauge group do not distinguish isotopically inequivalent mutant knots and links. In an attempt to distinguish these knots and links, we study Murakami (symmetrized version) r-strand composite braids. Salient features of the theory of such composite braids are presented. Representation...
متن کاملChern-Simons theory, matrix integrals, and perturbative three-manifold invariants
The universal perturbative invariants of rational homology spheres can be extracted from the Chern-Simons partition function by combining perturbative and nonperturbative results. We spell out the general procedure to compute these invariants, and we work out in detail the case of Seifert spaces. By extending some previous results of Lawrence and Rozansky, the Chern-Simons partition function wi...
متن کاملExact Results for Perturbative Chern-Simons Theory with Complex Gauge Group
We develop several methods that allow us to compute all-loop partition functions in perturbative Chern-Simons theory with complex gauge group GC, sometimes in multiple ways. In the background of a non-abelian irreducible flat connection, perturbative GC invariants turn out to be interesting topological invariants, which are very different from finite type (Vassiliev) invariants obtained in a th...
متن کاملLink Invariants from Classical Chern-Simons Theory
Taking as starting point a perturbative study of the classical equations of motion of the non-Abelian Chern-Simons theory with non dynamical sources, we obtain analytical expressions for link invariants. In order to present these expressions in a manifestly diffeomorphism-invariant form, we introduce a set of differential forms associated with submanifolds in R3, that are metric independent, an...
متن کاملKnot invariants from rational conformal field theories
A framework for studying knot and link invariants from any rational conformal field theory is developed. In particular, minimal models, superconformal models and WN models are studied. The invariants are related to the invariants obtained from the Wess-Zumino models associated with the coset representations of these models. Possible Chern-Simons representation of these models is also indicated....
