Temperley-Lieb Recoupling Theory and Invariants of 3-Manifolds (AM-134), Volume 134 / / Sostenes Lins, Louis H. Kauffman.

This book offers a self-contained account of the 3-manifold invariants arising from the original Jones polynomial. These are the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev and the Turaev-Viro invariants. Starting from the Kauffman bracket model for the Jones polynomial and the diagrammatic Temperley-Lieb algebra, hi...
