Abstract

Let $f$ be an integer greater than one. We study three progressively finer equivalence relations on closed 3–manifolds generated by Dehn surgery with denominator $f$ : weak $f$ –congruence, $f$ –congruence, and strong $f$ –congruence. If $f$ is odd, weak $f$ –congruence preserves the ring structure on cohomology with $ℤ_{f}$ –coefficients. We show that strong $f$ –congruence coincides with a relation previously studied by Lackenby. Lackenby showed that the quantum $S U (2)$ invariants are well-behaved under this congruence. We strengthen this result and extend it to the $S O (3)$ quantum invariants. We also obtain some corresponding results for the coarser equivalence relations, and for quantum invariants associated to more general modular categories. We compare $S^{3}$ , the Poincaré homology sphere, the Brieskorn homology sphere $Σ (2, 3, 7)$ and their mirror images up to strong $f$ –congruence. We distinguish the weak $f$ –congruence classes of some manifolds with the same $ℤ_{f}$ –cohomology ring structure.
