Problems on invariants of knots and 3–manifolds

Tomotada Ohtsuki

Geometry & Topology Monographs 4 (2002) 377–572

DOI: 10.2140/gtm.2002.4.377

Abstract

This is a list of open problems on invariants of knots and 3–manifolds with expositions of their history, background, significance, or importance. This list was made by editing open problems given in problem sessions in the workshop and seminars on “Invariants of Knots and 3–Manifolds” held at Kyoto in 2001.

Keywords

invariant, knot, 3–manifold, Jones polynomial, Vassiliev invariant, Kontsevich invariant, skein module, quandle, braid group, quantum invariant, perturbative invariant, topological quantum field theory, state-sum invariant, Casson invariant, finite type invariant, LMO invariant
