Faddeev's quantum dilogarithm and state-integrals on shaped triangulations

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingBook chapterResearchpeer-review

Abstract

Using Faddeev’s quantum dilogarithm function, we review our description of a one parameter family of state-integrals on shaped triangulated pseudo 3-manifolds. This invariant is part of a certain TQFT, which we have constructed previously in a number of papers on the subject.
