Abstract: We present an invariant of a three-dimensional manifold with a framed knot in it based on the Reidemeister torsion of an acyclic complex of Euclidean geometric origin. To show its nontriviality, we calculate the invariant for some framed (un)knots in lens spaces. Our invariant is related to a finite-dimensional fermionic topological quantum field theory.

Review text

In this paper an invariant of a 3-manifold containing a framed knot is constructed, based on the Reidemeister torsion of an acyclic complex of Euclidean geometric origin corresponding to the Pachner moves of tetrahedra, and this invariant does not rely on any nontrivial representation of the fundamental group of the manifold. Calculations of the invariant for some framed unknots in the 3-sphere and in lens spaces are carried out to show the nontriviality of the invariant.
