Hello everyone,
Today in seminar we have Rafał Siejakowski zooming in from São Paulo. The details are below.
Title Meromorphic 3D-index and its asymptotics Speaker: Rafał Siejakowski, University of São Paulo Date: Mar 29, 2022 Time: 3:00 PM Room: https://zoom.us/j/94529451960?pwd=ekkxYUsrRGt5bVdEQWJRN0JOZ04wZz09 Abstract: The meromorphic 3D-index is a new and somewhat mysterious topological invariant of orientable 3-manifolds with toroidal boundary, defined as a state integral of Turaev– Viro type on ideal triangulations. The ”states” in this integral are formal assignments of circle-valued dihedral angles to the edges of the tetrahedra. In this talk, we explain the predicted asymptotic behaviour of this invariant when the quantisation parameter q tends to 1. Conjecturally, our asymptotic limit contains ”classical” information about certain flat PSL(2,C)-bundles on the manifold, including the hyperbolic volume and adjoint Reidemeister torsion whenever the manifold admits a complete hyperbolic structure of finite volume.
