英文摘要：

We prove a "splicing formula" for the LMO invariant, which is the universal finite-type invariant of rational homology $3$-spheres. Specifically, if a rational homology $3$-sphere $M$ is obtained by gluing the exteriors of two framed knots $K_1 \subset M_1$ and $K_2\subset M_2$ in rational homology $3$-spheres, our formula expresses the LMO invariant of $M$ in terms of the Kontsevich-LMO invariants of $(M_1,K_1)$ and $(M_2,K_2)$. The proof uses the techniques that Bar-Natan and Lawrence developed to obtain a rational surgery formula for the LMO invariant. In low degrees, we recover Fujita's formula for the Casson-Walker invariant and we observe that the second term of the Ohtsuki series is not additive under "standard" splicing. The splicing formula also works when each $M_i$ comes with a link $L_i$ in addition to the knot $K_i$, hence we get a "satellite formula" for the Kontsevich-LMO invariant.

A Rational Surgery Formula for the LMO Invariant

We write a formula for the LMO invariant of a rational homology sphere presented as a rational surgery on a link in S^3. Our main tool is a careful use of the Aarhus integral and the (now proven) "Wheels" and "Wheeling" conjectures of B-N, Garoufalidis, Rozansky and Thurston. As steps, side benefits and asides we give explicit formulas for the values of the Kontsevich integral on the Hopf link and on Hopf chains, and for the LMO invariant of lens spaces and Seifert fibered spaces. We find that the LMO invariant does not separate lens spaces, is far from separating general Seifert fibered space…

Splitting formulas for the LMO invariant of rational homology three-spheres

For rational homology 3-spheres, there exist two universal finite-type invariants: the Le-Murakami-Ohtsuki invariant and the Kontsevich-Kuperberg-Thurston invariant. These invariants take values in the same space of "Jacobi diagrams", but it is not known whether they are equal. In 2004, Lescop proved that the KKT invariant satisfies some "splitting formulas" which relate the variations of KKT under replacement of embedded rational homology handlebodies by others in a "Lagrangian-preserving" way. We show that the LMO invariant satisfies exactly the same relations. The proof is based on the LMO …

A surgery formula for the 2-loop piece of the LMO invariant of a pair

Let Θ(M,K) denote the 2-loop piece of (the logarithm of) the LMO invariant of a knot K in M, a ZHS^3. Forgetting the knot (by which we mean setting diagrams with legs to zero) specialises Θ(M,K) to λ(M), Casson's invariant. This note describes an extension of Casson's surgery formula for his invariant to Θ(M,K). To be precise, we describe the effect on Θ(M,K) of a surgery on a knot which together with K forms a boundary link in M. Whilst the presented formula does not characterise Θ(M,K), it does allow some insight into the underlying topology.

Orthogonal Quantum Group Invariants of Links

We study the Chern-Simons partition function of orthogonal quantum group invariants, and propose a new orthogonal Labastida-Mariño-Ooguri-Vafa conjecture as well as degree conjecture for free energy associated to the orthogonal Chern-Simons partition function. We prove the degree conjecture and some interesting cases of orthogonal LMOV conjecture. In particular, We provide a formula of colored Kauffman polynomials for torus knots and links, and applied this formula to verify certain case of the conjecture at roots of unity except $1$. We also derive formulas of Lickorish-Millett type for Kauff…

Correction to the article: Floer homology and splicing knot complements

This note corrects the mistakes in the splicing formulas of the paper "Floer homology and splicing knot complements". The mistakes are the result of the incorrect assumption that for a knot $K$ inside a homology sphere $Y$, the involution on the knot Floer homology of $K$ which corresponds to moving the basepoints by one full twist around $K$ is trivial. The correction implicitly involves considering the contribution from this (possibly non-trivial) involution in a number of places.

Splicing and the SL(2,C) Casson invariant

We establish a formula for the SL(2,C) Casson invariant of spliced sums of homology spheres along knots. Along the way, we show that the SL(2,C) Casson invariant vanishes for spliced sums along knots in the 3-sphere.

Seiberg-Witten invariants and surface singularities III. Splicings and cyclic covers

We verify the conjecture formulated in math.AG/0111298 for suspension singularities of type $g(x,y,z)= f(x,y)+z^n$, where $f$ is an irreducible plane curve singularity. More precisely, we prove that the modified Seiberg-Witten invariant of the link $M$ of $g$, associated with the canonical $spin^c$ structure, equals $-σ(F)/8$, where $σ(F)$ is the signature of the Milnor fiber of $g$. In order to do this, we prove general splicing formulae for the Casson-Walker invariant and for the sign refined Reidemeister-Turaev torsion (in particular, for the modified Seiberg-Witten invariant too). These pr…

Floer homology and splicing knot complements

We obtain a formula for the Heegaard Floer homology (hat theory) of the three-manifold $Y(K_1,K_2)$ obtained by splicing the complements of the knots $K_i\subset Y_i$, $i=1,2$, in terms of the knot Floer homology of $K_1$ and $K_2$. We also present a few applications. If $h_n^i$ denotes the rank of the Heegaard Floer group $\widehat{\mathrm{HFK}}$ for the knot obtained by $n$-surgery over $K_i$ we show that the rank of $\widehat{\mathrm{HF}}(Y(K_1,K_2))$ is bounded below by $$\big|(h_\infty^1-h_1^1)(h_\infty^2-h_1^2)- (h_0^1-h_1^1)(h_0^2-h_1^2)\big|.$$ We also show that if splicing the complem…

Fiber Sum Formulae for the Casson-Seiberg-Witten Invariant of Integral Homology $S^1 \times S^3$

We prove the additivity of the Casson-Seiberg-Witten invariant of integral homology $S^1 \times S^3$ under fiber sum along embedded curves and embedded tori, which is the $4$-dimensional analogue of the additivity of the Casson invariant under connected-sum and splicing along knots.

Finite type invariants of cyclic branched covers

Updated rerefences and introduction. Given a knot in an integer homology sphere, one can construct a family of closed 3-manifolds (parametrized by the positive integers), namely the cyclic branched coverings of the knot. In this paper we give a formula for the the Casson-Walker invariants of these 3-manifolds in terms of residues of a rational function (which measures the 2-loop part of the Kontsevich integral of a knot) and the signature function of the knot. Our main result actually computes the LMO invariant of cyclic branched covers in terms of a rational invariant of the knot and its sign…

Analyticity of the Free Energy of a Closed 3-Manifold

The free energy of a closed 3-manifold is a 2-parameter formal power series which encodes the perturbative Chern-Simons invariant (also known as the LMO invariant) of a closed 3-manifold with gauge group U(N) for arbitrary $N$. We prove that the free energy of an arbitrary closed 3-manifold is uniformly Gevrey-1. As a corollary, it follows that the genus $g$ part of the free energy is convergent in a neighborhood of zero, independent of the genus. Our results follow from an estimate of the LMO invariant, in a particular gauge, and from recent results of Bender-Gao-Richmond on the asymptotics o…

JSJ-decompositions of knot and link complements in the 3-sphere

This paper is a survey of some of the most elementary consequences of the JSJ-decomposition and geometrization for knot and link complements in the 3-sphere. Formulated in the language of graphs, the result is the construction of a bijective correspondence between the isotopy classes of links in $S^3$ and a class of vertex-labelled, finite acyclic graphs, called companionship graphs. This construction can be thought of as a uniqueness theorem for Schubert's `satellite operations.' We identify precisely which graphs are companionship graphs of knots and links respectively. We also describe how …
