Quantum Dilogarithm as a 6j-Symbol
Abstract
The cyclic quantum dilogarithm is interpreted as a cyclic 6j-symbol of the Weyl algebra, considered as a Borel subalgebra BUq(sl(2)). Using modified 6j-symbols, an invariant of triangulated links in triangulated 3-manifolds is constructed. Apparently, it is an ambient isotopy invariant of links.
