Abstract: |
The author reviews some recent developments in Chern-Simons theory
on a hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$ with complex gauge group $G$. The
author focuses on the case of $G=SL(N,\mathbb{C})$ and $M$ being a
knot complement: $M=S^{3}\setminus \mathcal{K}$. The main result
presented in this note is the cluster partition function, a
computational tool that uses cluster algebra techniques to evaluate
the Chern-Simons path integral for $G=SL(N,\mathbb{C})$. He also
reviews various applications and open questions regarding the
cluster partition function and some of its relation with string
theory. |
