量子场论与体积猜想

Quantum Field Theory and the Volume Conjecture

Tudor Dimofte, Sergei Gukov

摘要:

体积猜想指出,对于三球面S ^3中的双曲纽结K,K的有色琼斯多项式的渐近增长由纽结补S ^3的双曲体积\K决定。该猜想涉及两个拓扑不变量,一个组合和一个几何,在一个非常不明显的,非平凡的方式。本课程的目标是回顾体积猜想的原始陈述及其最近的扩展和推广,并说明在最一般的情况下,如何用拓扑量子场论来理解这个猜想。我们尤其认为:a)将体积猜想推广到不完全双曲度量族; b)不仅涉及首项(体积),而且涉及1/N中的整个渐近展开的推广; c)推广到更高秩群的量子群不变量; d)推广到任意三流形中的任意链。

英文摘要:

The volume conjecture states that for a hyperbolic knot K in the three-sphere S^3 the asymptotic growth of the colored Jones polynomial of K is governed by the hyperbolic volume of the knot complement S^3\K. The conjecture relates two topological invariants, one combinatorial and one geometric, in a very nonobvious, nontrivial manner. The goal of the present lectures is to review the original statement of the volume conjecture and its recent extensions and generalizations, and to show how, in the most general context, the conjecture can be understood in terms of topological quantum field theory. In particular, we consider: a) generalization of the volume conjecture to families of incomplete hyperbolic metrics; b) generalization that involves not only the leading (volume) term, but the entire asymptotic expansion in 1/N; c) generalization to quantum group invariants for groups of higher rank; and d) generalization to arbitrary links in arbitrary three-manifolds.
