On the invariants of knots and 3-manifolds related to the restricted quantum group
[ Abstract ]
I would like to talk about the colored Alexander invariant and the logarithmic
invariant of knots and links. They are constructed from the universal R-matrices
of the semi-resetricted and restricted quantum groups of sl(2) respectively,
and they are related to the hyperbolic volumes of the cone manifolds along
the knot. I also would like to explain an attempt to generalize these invariants to
a three manifold invariant which relates to the volume of the manifold actually.
