Abstract

Lickorish’s method for constructing topological invariants of three-manifolds is generalized to the quantum supergroup setting. An invariant is obtained by applying this method to the Kauffman polynomial arising from the vector representation of U q( osp (1|2)). A transparent proof is also given showing that this invariant is equivalent to the U q( osp (1|2)) invariant obtained in an earlier publication.
