Research exposition (monographs, survey articles) pertaining to manifolds and cell complexes (57-02) 2-dimensional topology (including mapping class groups of surfaces, Teichmüller theory, curve complexes, etc.) (57K20)

Abstract: We provide an (almost) self-contained construction of the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev representations of the mapping class group. We describe its properties including its Hermitian structure, irreducibility and integrality (at prime level). The construction of these notes relies only on skein theory (Kauffman Bracket) and does not use surgery techniques. We hope that they will be accessible to non-specialists.

Summary: We provide an (almost) self-contained construction of the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev representations of the mapping class group. We describe its properties including its Hermitian structure, irreducibility and integrality (at prime level). The construction in these notes relies only on skein theory (Kauffman Bracket) and does not use surgery techniques. We hope that they will be accessible to non-specialists. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1466.57001].
