q-deformed lattice gauge theory and 3-manifold invariants | | D.V. Boulatov
; | | Date: |
7 Oct 1992 | | Journal: | Int. J. Mod. Phys. A8 (1993) 3139 | | Subject: | hep-th | | Abstract: | The notion of $q$-deformed lattice gauge theory is introduced. If the deformation parameter is a root of unity, the weak coupling limit of a 3-$d$ partition function gives a topological invariant for a corresponding 3-manifold. It enables us to define the generalized Turaev-Viro invariant for cell complexes. It is shown that this invariant is determined by an action of a fundamental group on a universal covering of a complex. A connection with invariants of framed links in a manifold is also explored. A model giving a generating function of all simplicial complexes weighted with the invariant is investigated. | | Source: | arXiv, hep-th/9210032 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
