Uniqueness of universal quantum dimensions

We prove, under some assumptions, the uniqueness of universal quantum dimension formulae. We first show that the quantum dimensions of classical algebras have a specific form that can be represented universally, in Vogel's sense, as the product/ratio of q-dimension factors with arguments $aα+bβ+cγ$ where $c=0, 1, 2$ and $a, b$ are integers. On this basis, we derive simple uniqueness criteria, according to which all known universal quantum dimensions are unique.

Universal quantum dimensions: $γ$-dependent factors

We develop an approach for computing the universal, in Vogel's sense, quantum dimensions. In a previous work a method for calculating the $γ$-independent part of these dimensions for universal multiplets with nonzero associated members for classical algebras was proposed. In the present paper, this approach is extended to the $γ$-dependent factors. In particular, we derive these contributions for the $E$ universal multiplet, which appears in the universal decomposition of the fourth power of the adjoint representation, thereby obtaining its universal quantum dimension for the first time. The analysis requires knowledge of the quantum dimensions of the classical and $E_8$ members of the multiplet; for the remaining exceptional algebras, the corresponding quantum dimensions are recovered automatically, providing an additional consistency check of the approach. We also partially extend a previously conjectured relation between the $sl$ and $so, sp$ members - formulated in terms of vertical and horizontal sums of Young diagrams - to the exceptional case. Finally, we present an explicit algorithm implementing the proposed method, which enables the derivation of universal formulae for higher-dimensional representations. The universal quantum dimensions provide, in some cases, a unified description of Chern-Simons observables, including knot invariants and partition functions, in a form valid simultaneously for all gauge algebras.

Refined $E_n$ Chern-Simons theory

The partition function of refined Chern-Simons theory on 3d sphere for the exceptional $E_n$ gauge algebras is presented in terms of multiple sine functions. Gopakumar-Vafa (BPS) approximation is calculated and presented in the form of some refined topological string partition function.

Two-fold refinement of non simply laced Chern-Simons theories

Inspired by the two-parameter Macdonald-Cherednik deformation of the formulae for non simply laced simple Lie algebras, we propose a two-fold refinement of the partition function of the corresponding Chern-Simons theory on $S^3$. It is based on a two-fold refinement of the Kac-Peterson formula for the volume of the fundamental domain of the coroot lattice of non simply laced Lie algebras. We further derive explicit integral representations of the two-fold refined Chern-Simons partition functions. We also present the corresponding generalized universal-like expressions for them. With these formulae in hand, one can try to investigate a possible duality of the corresponding Chern-Simons theories with hypothetical two-fold refined topological string theories.

On refined Chern-Simons / topological string duality for classical gauge groups

We present the partition function of the refined Chern-Simons theory on $S^3$ with arbitrary A,B,C,D gauge algebra in terms of multiple sine functions. For B and C cases this representation is novel. It allows us to conjecture duality to some refined and orientifolded versions of the topological string on the resolved conifold, and carry out the detailed identification of different contributions. The free energies for D and C algebras possess the usual halved contribution from the A theory, i.e. orientable surfaces, and contributions of non-orientable surfaces with one cross-cup, with opposite signs, similar as for the non-refined theories. However, in the refined case, both theories possess in addition a non-zero contribution of orientable surfaces with two cross-cups. In particular, we observe a trebling of the Kähler parameter, in the sense of a refinement and world-sheet (i.e. the number of cross-cups) dependent quantum shift. For B algebra the contribution of Klein bottles is zero, as is the case in the non-refined theory, and the one-cross-cup terms differ from the D and C cases. For the (refined) constant maps terms of these theories we suggest a modular-invariant representation, which leads to natural topological string interpretation. We also calculate some non-perturbative corrections.

On partition functions of refined Chern-Simons theories on $S^3$

We present a new expression for the partition function of refined Chern-Simons theory on $S^3$ with arbitrary gauge group, which is explicitly equal to $1$, when the coupling constant is zero. Using this form of partition function we show that the previously known Krefl-Schwarz representation of partition function of refined Chern-Simons theory on $S^3$ can be generalized to all simply-laced algebras. For all non-simply-laced gauge algebras, we derive similar representations of that partition function, which makes it possible to transform it into a product of multiple sine functions aiming at the further establishment of duality with refined topological strings.

Uniqueness of universal dimensions and configurations of points and lines

The problem of uniqueness of universal formulae for (quantum) dimensions of simple Lie algebras is investigated. We present generic functions, which multiplied by a universal (quantum) dimension formula, preserve both its structure and its values at the points from Vogel's table. Connection of some of these functions with geometrical configurations, such as the famous Pappus-Brianchon-Pascal $(9_3)_1$ configuration of points and lines, is established. Particularly, the appropriate realizable configuration $(144_336_{12})$ (yet to be found) will provide a symmetric non-uniqueness factor for any universal dimension formula.

On linear resolvability of universal quantum dimensions

In his study of finite (Vassiliev's) knot invariants,Vogel introduced the so-called universal parameters, belonging to the projective plane, which particularly parameterize the simple Lie algebras by the Vogel's table. Subsequently a number of quantities, such as some universal knot invariants, (quantum) dimensions of simple Lie algebras, etc., have been represented in terms of these parameters, i.e. in the universal form. We prove that at the points from the Vogel's table all known universal quantum dimension formulae are linearly resolvable, i.e. yield finite answers even if these points are singular, provided one restricts them to the appropriate lines. We show, that the same phenomenon takes place for another three distinguished points in Vogel's plane - $E_{7\frac{1}{2}}, X_1,$ and $X_2$. We also examine the same formulae on linear resolvability at the remaining 48 distinguished points in Vogel's plane, which correspond to the so-called $Y$-objects, and discover that there are three points among them, which are regular for all known quantum dimension formulae. Two of them happen to be sharing a remarkable similarity with the simple Lie algebras, namely, the universal formulae yield integer-valued outputs (dimensions) at those points in the classical limit.

On universal quantum dimensions of certain two-parameter series of representations

We present the universal, in Vogel's sense, expression for the quantum dimension of Cartan product of an arbitrary number of adjoint and $X_2$ representations of simple Lie algebras. The same formula mysteriously gives quantum dimensions of some other representations of the same Lie algebra under permutations of universal parameters. We list these representations for exceptional algebras and stable versions for classical algebras, when the rank of the classical algebra is sufficiently large w.r.t. the powers of representations. We show that universal formulae can have singularities on Vogel's plane for some algebras and that they give correct answers when restricted on appropriate lines on Vogel's plane. We note that the same irreducible representation can have several universal formulae for its (quantum) dimension, and discuss the implication of this phenomena on the Cohen - de Man method of calculation of universal formulae.

$X_2$ series of universal quantum dimensions

The antisymmetric square of the adjoint representation of any simple Lie algebra is equal to the sum of adjoint and $X_2$ representations. We present universal formulae for quantum dimensions of an arbitrary Cartan power of $X_2$. They are analyzed for singular cases and permuted universal Vogel's parameters. $X_2$ has been the only representation in the decomposition of the square of the adjoint with unknown universal series. Application to universal knot polynomials is discussed.
