SO(3) quantum invariants are dense
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2009
Abstract
We show that when r ≥ 5 is prime, the SO(3) Witten–Reshetikhin–Turaev quantum invariants for three-manifolds at the level r form a dense set in the complex plane. This confirms a conjecture of Larsen and Wang.
