A note on quantum 3-manifold invariants and hyperbolic volume
Abstract
Description
We investigate the conjectural relations between the Reshetikhin-Turaev-Witten quantum SU(2) invariants and the volume of hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Given a finite set of sufficiently large positive integers, say J, we construct examples of closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds with the same invariants at all levels in J and different volume.
