Quantum SU(3) Invariant of 3-Manifolds via Linear Skein Theory

Abstract: The linear skein theory for the Kauffman bracket was introduced by Lickorish [11,12]. It gives an elementary construction of quantum SU(2) invariant of 3-manifolds. In this paper we prove basic properties of the linear skein theory for quantum SU(3) invariant. By using them we give an elementary construction of quantum SU(3) invariant of 3-manifolds and prove topological invariance of the invariant along the construction.

“…The module ‫ށ‬ 2 .F; ∅; R/ is isomorphic to the S U 3 -skein module of F I introduced in Frohman-Zhong [18] and Sikora [62] (see also Ohtsuki-Yamada [46]). Consequently, Corollary 5.2 implies Theorem 9.5 The S U 3 -skein module of F I; S 3 .F I; R/ (in notation of [62]) is a free R-module with a basis given by all A 2 -webs in F with no 0-gons, no true bigons, and no true 4-gons.…”

“…Using these clasps, Lickorish first found a quantum sl(2) invariants of 3-manifolds [22]. Ohtsuki and Yamada generalized it for the quantum sl(3) [28] and Yokota did for the quantum sl(n) [45]. A benefit of using the quantum sl(n) representation theory for link invariants is that some nontrivial facts from the original work of [10,32,33] do follow easily such as the integrality [21].…”
