Reconstructing Turaev-Viro Invariants from Four-Fold Simple Branched Covering Presentations
Eri Hatakenaka
Abstract
We construct a finite state sum from a link diagram labelled by transpositions. The diagram presents a closed 3-manifold as a four-fold simple branched cover, and the state sum equals the SU(2)-type Turaev-Viro invariant of that manifold. For each admissible colouring of the diagram's edges and complementary regions, a global factor is combined with crossing weights obtained by summing over compatible local colourings. We then sum these products over all diagram colourings. The formula is proved by assembling crossing-wise local triangulations and matching the two state sums.
