The topological invariant of three-manifolds based on the U(1) gauge theory (Q757902)

Given a series of projective unitary representations of the Siegel modular groups (symplectic groups) Sp(2g,\({\mathbb{Z}})\), \(g\in {\mathbb{N}}\), tied together by certain recursive conditions, a \({\mathbb{C}}/U(1)\)-valued invariant of closed oriented 3-manifolds is constructed in the present announcement, using the symplectic automorphism induced on the homology of a Heegaard surface of a Heegaard splitting of a 3-manifold. The invariance under stabilization of Heegaard splittings is a consequence of these recursive conditions. Examples of such series of representations are given, as well as the values of the invariants for some explicit examples of 3-manifolds.
