Review text

The paper under review is based on the author's minicourse at the workshop on differential geometry and topology, Alghero, Italy 1992, and presents a self-contained combinatorial approach of theory which permits to define Turaev-Viro invariants of 3-manifolds [\textit{V. G. Turaev} and \textit{O. Y. Viro}, Topology 31, No. 4, 865-902 (1992; Zbl 0779.57009)]. ``The basic ingredients for the approach are the Jones-Wenzl projector [\textit{V. F. R. Jones}, Invent. Math. 72, 1-25 (1983; Zbl 0508.46040); \textit{H. Wenzl}, C. R. Math. Acad. Sci., Soc. R. Can. 9, 5-9 (1987; Zbl 0622.47019)], Matveev-Piergallini moves on spines of 3-manifolds [\textit{S. V. Matveev}, Math. USSR, Izv. 31, No. 2, 423-434 (1988); translation from Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser. Mat. 51, No. 5, 1104-1116 (1987; Zbl 0642.57003); \textit{R. Piergallini}, Suppl. Rend. Circ. Mat. Palermo, II. Ser. 18, 391-414 (1988; Zbl 0672.57004)] and an evaluation scheme on some weighted planar cubic networks induced by states defined on the 2-skeleton of 3-gems. ``These notes are a preliminary version of part of a book under preparation [\textit{S. Lins}, Gems, computers and attractors for 3-manifolds, Series on Knots and Everything 5 (1995; Zbl 0868.57002)] and related to a joint paper by the author and \textit{L. H. Kauffman} [Temperley-Lieb recoupling theory and invariants of 3-manifolds, Ann. Math. Stud. 134 (1994; Zbl 0821.57003)]. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0879.00051].
