3-manifold invariants and periodicity of homology spheres

Patrick M. Gilmer Joanna Kania-Bartoszynska Jozef H. Przytycki

Abstract. We show how the periodicity of a homology sphere is reflected in the Reshetikhin-Turaev-Witten invariants of the manifold. These yield a criterion for the periodicity of a homology sphere.

Keywords. $3$-manifolds, links, group actions, quantum invariants
