Blanchfield pairings and twisted Blanchfield pairings of torus knots
Koki Yanagida
We give explicit matrix presentations of the Blanchfield pairing and certain twisted Blanchfield pairings of the -torus knot . Our method uses a taut identity realiz…
Parabolic Dijkgraaf-Witten invariants of links in the -sphere
Koki Yanagida
We define a new invariant of links in the -sphere and call it the parabolic Dijkgraaf-Witten (DW) invariant. This invariant is a generalization of the reduced DW invariant deriv…
Dijkgraaf-Witten invariant in topological -theory
Koki Yanagida
Given a finite group , we define a new invariant of odd-dimensional oriented closed manifolds and call it the KDW invariant. This invariant is a Dijkgraaf--Witten invariant in t…
Nonacyclic Reidemeister torsions of manifolds of odd dimension
Takefumi Nosaka, Koki Yanagida, Naoko Wakijo
Given an oriented closed manifold of odd dimension and a unitary representation $Ï: Ï_1(M) \ra \GL_n(\F)$, we define a Reidemeister torsion, even if the cohomology associated…
