More precisely, for a fixed level $\\cN \\in \\N$ we show that the level $\\cN$ WRT invariant for a $3-$manifold is a state sum of Lagrangian intersections in a covering of a fixed configuration space in the punctured disk. This model brings a new perspective on the structure of the level $\\cN$ Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariant, showing that it is completely encoded by the intersection points between certain Lagrangian submanifolds in a fixed configuration space, with additional gradings which come from a particular choice of a local system.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-04-05T17:57:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "witten-reshetikhin-turaev invariant", "lagrangian intersections", "fixed configuration space", "local system", "model brings" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
