On Colored Turaev-Viro Invariants for Links in Arbitrary 3-Manifolds
We consider certain invariants of links in 3-manifolds, obtained by a specialization of the Turaev-Viro invariants of 3-manifolds, that we call colored Turaev-Viro invariants.Their construction is based on a presentation of a pair (M, L), where M is a closed oriented 3-manifold and L ⊂ M is an oriented link, …
