Heisenberg action in skein theory and external edge condition
arXiv:1109.5548
Abstract
In this article we give an explicit description of the representation matrix of a Heisenberg type action constructed by Blanchet, Habegger, Masbaum and Vogel. We give the matrix in terms of a ribbon graph and its admissible colorings. We show that components of the representation matrix satisfies the {\it external edge condition}, which is a natural combinatorial/geometric condition for maps from the first homology of the graph. We give the explicit formula of the trace of the action in the case of surfaces with colored structure using the external edge condition, the Verlinde formula and elementary counting arguments. Our formula is a generalization of the results for a surface without colored structure, which are already known.
