Local surgery formulas for quantum invariants and the Arf invariant
Robion Kirby, Paul Melvin
Abstract
A formula for the Arf invariant of a link is given in terms of the singularities of an immersed surface bounded by the link. This is applied to study the computational complexity of quantum invariants of 3--manifolds.
