In this paper we present a short definition of the Witten invariants of 3-manifolds. We also give simple proofs of invariance of those obtained for r = 3 and r = 4. Our definition is extracted from the 1993 paper of Lickorish and the Prasolov-Sossinsky book, where it is dispersed over 20 pages. We show by several examples that it is indeed convenient for calculations.

Abstract

In this paper we present a short definition of the Witten invariants of 3-manifolds. We also give simple proofs of invariance of those obtained for r = 3 and r = 4. Our definition is extracted from the 1993 paper of Lickorish and the Prasolov-Sossinsky book, where it is dispersed over 20 pages. We show by several examples that it is indeed convenient for calculations.
