Knot invariant in arbitrary 3-manifold

82 Views Asked by At

In famous Witten's paper "Quantum Field Theory and Jones Polynomial", Witten proposed

$\int DA \exp{iL} \prod_{k=1}^{r} W_{R_t} (C_i)$

as the knot invariant in ARBITRARY 3-manifold. ($L$ is a Langlangian of Chern-Simons 3-form, and the integral is Feynman path integral of gauge transformation.)

After Witten's paper, Turaev formulated Witten's idia as the quantum invariants. But Quantum invariants are defined only for knots in $S^3$. Does anyone know "Quantum invariants in arbitrary 3-manifold"?
