The results show that the generalised knot invariants, obtained from Chern-Simons gauge theory, are more powerful than Jones, HOMFLYPT and Kauffman polynomials. However the classification problem of knots and links is still an open challenging problem.

For a class of rank r symmetric representations, [r]-colored HOMFLY-PT H [r] evaluation becomes simpler. Recently [1], it was shown that H [r] , for such knots from 3-strand braid, can be constructed using the quantum Racah coefficients (6j-symbols) of Uq(sl2). In this paper, we generalise it to links whose components carry different symmetric representations. We illustrate the technique by evaluating multi-colored link polynomials H [r 1 ],[r 2 ] for the two-component link L7a3 whose components carry [r1] and [r2] colors.

Using such a braid group representation, an algebraic formula for the link invariants was put forth when the same spin (N−1)/2(N-1)/2(N1)/2 are placed on all the component knots. In this paper, we generalise the procedure to deduce representations of braiding generators from bi-partite vertex models. Such a representation allows the study of multi-colored link invariants where the component knots carry different spins. We propose a multi-colored link invariant formula in terms of braiding generators derived from RRR matrices of bi-partite vertex models.

They are obtained as a limiting case of the Rényi entropy of index m, which captures the higher moments of the reduced density matrix. In this work, we study pure bipartite states associated with S3 complements of a two-component link which is a connected sum of a knot mathcalK\mathcal{K}mathcalK K and the Hopf link. For this class of links, the Chern-Simons theory provides the necessary setting to visualise the m-moment of the reduced density matrix as a three-manifold invariant Z(MmathcalKm{M}_{{\mathcal{K}}_m}MmathcalKm M K m ), which is the partition function of MmathcalKm{M}_{{\mathcal{K}}_m}MmathcalKm M K m . Here MmathcalKm{M}_{{\mathcal{K}}_m}MmathcalKm M K m is a closed 3-manifold associated with the knot mathcalK\mathcal{K}mathcalK K m, where mathcalK\mathcal{K}mathcalK K m is a connected sum of m-copies of mathcalK\mathcal{K}mathcalK K (i.e., mathcalK\mathcal{K}mathcalK K #mathcalK\mathcal{K}mathcalK K . . . #mathcalK\mathcal{K}mathcalK K ) which mimics the well-known replica method.

The SL(2, C) character variety of the fundamental group of the complement of a trivalent graph with E edges in S 3 is a Lagrangian subvariety of the Hitchin moduli space over the Riemann surface of genus g = E/3 + 1. For the theta and tetrahedron graph, we conjecture that the configuration of the character variety is locally determined by large color asymptotics of the quantum invariants of the trivalent graph in terms of complex Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates. Moreover, the q-holonomic difference equation of the quantum invariants provides the quantization of the character variety.

In this work, we study the topological entanglement due to interaction between the quasiparticles inside three-manifolds with one or more disjoint S 2 boundaries in SU(N) Chern-Simons theory. We focus on the world-lines of quasiparticles (Wilson lines), carrying SU(N) representations, creating four punctures on every S 2. We compute the entanglement entropy by partial tracing some of the boundaries. In fact, the entanglement entropy depends on the SU(N) representations on these four-punctured S 2 boundaries. Further, we observe interesting features on the GHZ-like and W-like entanglement structures. Such a distinction crucially depends on the multiplicity of the irreducible representations in the tensor product of SU(N) representations.

Particularly, the ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density η/s obtained from elliptic flow measurements can be matched with the computation done in the dual gravity theory. The experimentally observed temperature dependence of η/s requires the study of scalar matter coupled AdS gravity including higher derivative curvature corrections. We obtain the backreaction to the metric for such a matter coupled AdS gravity in D-dimensional spacetime due to the higher derivative curvature corrections. Then, we present the backreaction corrections to shear viscosity η and entropy density s.
