Abstract

We report on recent results of the authors concerning calculations of quantum invariants of Seifert 3–manifolds. These results include a derivation of the Reshetikhin–Turaev invariants of all oriented Seifert manifolds associated with an arbitrary complex finite dimensional simple Lie algebra, and a determination of the asymptotic expansions of these invariants for lens spaces. Our results are in agreement with the asymptotic expansion conjecture due to J. E. Andersen.
