Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants of Seifert 3-manifolds and a rational surgery formula
Soren Kold Hansen
Abstract
We calculate the RT-invariants of all oriented Seifert manifolds directly from surgery presentations. We work in the general framework of an arbitrary modular category as in [V. G. Turaev, Quantum invariants of knots and 3--manifolds, de Gruyter Stud. Math. 18, Walter de Gruyter (1994)], and the invariants are expressed in terms of the S- and T-matrices of the modular category. In another direction we derive a rational surgery formula, which states how the RT-invariants behave under rational surgery along framed links in arbitrary closed oriented 3-manifolds with embedded colored ribbon graphs. The surgery formula is used to give another derivation of the RT-invariants of Seifert manifolds with orientable base.
