Umbilical characteristic number of Lagrangian mappings of 3-dimensional pseudooptical manifolds

Maxim È. Kazarian (1996)

Banach Center Publications

As shown by V. Vassilyev [V], D 4 ± singularities of arbitrary Lagrangian mappings of three-folds form no integral characteristic class. We show, nevertheless, that in the pseudooptical case the number of D 4 ± singularities counted with proper signs forms an invariant. We give a topological interpretation of this invariant, and its applications. The results of the paper may be considered as a 3-dimensional generalization of the results due to V. I. Arnold [A].

Unified quantum invariants and their refinements for homology 3-spheres with 2-torsion

Anna Beliakova, Christian Blanchet, Thang T. Q. Lê (2008)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

For every rational homology 3-sphere with H₁(M,ℤ) = (ℤ/2ℤ)ⁿ we construct a unified invariant (which takes values in a certain cyclotomic completion of a polynomial ring) such that the evaluation of this invariant at any odd root of unity provides the SO(3) Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariant at this root, and at any even root of unity the SU(2) quantum invariant. Moreover, this unified invariant splits into a sum of the refined unified invariants dominating spin and cohomological refinements of...
