Seifert fibered 3-manifolds and Turaev-Viro invariants volume conjecture
Shashini Marasinghe
TL;DR
The paper addresses the large-$r$ behavior of $TV_r(M,q)$ for oriented Seifert fibered 3-manifolds and verifies the generalized TV-volume conjecture for broad Seifert families, including manifolds with boundary. It leverages the TV–RT relationship via doubles $D(M)$ and Hansen’s explicit $RT_r$ formulas for Seifert manifolds, performing a subsequence analysis along $r=kA$ with $A= ext{lcm}(a_1, obreak \dots, obreak a_n)$ to show the growth rate $LTV(M)=0$. The results extend volume-conjecture phenomena beyond hyperbolic manifolds to Seifert-fibered classes, with corollaries for Dehn fillings and links of zero simplicial volume. By connecting quantum invariants to classical geometric data in non-hyperbolic 3-manifolds, the work broadens the scope of TV-volume verifications and informs future studies in quantum topology and 3-manifold invariants.
Abstract
We study the large $r$ asymptotic behaviour of the Turaev-Viro invariants of oriented Seifert fibered 3-manifolds at the root $q=e^\frac{2πi}{r}$. As an application, we prove the volume conjecture for large families of oriented Seifert fibered 3-manifolds with empty and non-empty boundary.
