A gauge-field approach to 3- and 4-manifold invariants

Bogusław Broda (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

An approach to construction of topological invariants of the Reshetikhin-Turaev-Witten type of 3- and 4-dimensional manifolds in the framework of SU(2) Chern-Simons gauge theory and its hidden (quantum) gauge symmetry is presented.

On a secondary invariant of the hyperelliptic mapping class group

Takayuki Morifuji (2009)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We discuss relations among several invariants of 3-manifolds including Meyer's function, the η-invariant, the von Neumann ρ-invariant and the Casson invariant from the viewpoint of the mapping class group of a surface.

Link invariants from finite biracks

Sam Nelson (2014)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

A birack is an algebraic structure with axioms encoding the blackboard-framed Reidemeister moves, incorporating quandles, racks, strong biquandles and semiquandles as special cases. In this paper we extend the counting invariant for finite racks to the case of finite biracks. We introduce a family of biracks generalizing Alexander quandles, (t,s)-racks, Alexander biquandles and Silver-Williams switches, known as (τ,σ,ρ)-biracks. We consider enhancements of the counting invariant using...
