    On the Kauffman bracket skein module of the quaternionic manifold

    Full text link
    We use recoupling theory to study the Kauffman bracket skein module of the quaternionic manifold over Z[A,A^{-1}] localized by inverting all the cyclotomic polynomials. We prove that the skein module is spanned by five elements. Using the quantum invariants of these skein elements and the Z_2 homology of the manifold, we determine that they are linearly independent.Comment: corrected summation signs in figures 14, 15, 17. Other minor change

    Generalized homology and Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence in crystalline symmetry protected topological phenomena

    Full text link
    We propose that symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases with crystalline symmetry are formulated by equivariant generalized homologies hnG(X)h^G_n(X) over a real space manifold XX with GG a crystalline symmetry group. The Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence unifies various notions in crystalline SPT phases such as the layer construction, higher-order SPT phases and Lieb-Schultz-Mattis type theorems. Our formulation is applicable to interacting systems with onsite and crystalline symmetries as well as free fermions.Comment: are wellcome. 64 pages, many figures and table
