Refined invariants and TQFTs from Homfly skein theory


Beliakova, A (1999). Refined invariants and TQFTs from Homfly skein theory. Journal of Knot Theory and Its Ramifications, 8(5):569-587.

Abstract

We work in the reduced SU(N, K) modular category as constructed recently by Blanchet. We define spin type and cohomological refinements of the Turaev-Viro invariants of closed oriented 3-manifolds and give a formula relating them to Blanchet's invariants. Roberts' definition of the Turaev-Viro state sum is exploited. Furthermore, we construct refined Turaev-Viro and Reshetikhin-Turaev TQFTs and study the relationship between them.
