Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The quantum dilogarithm function was originally introduced by Faddeev to study a discrete analogue of the KdV equation. Sometime ago Kashaev constructed knot invariant by use the quantum dilogarithm function, and he observed that its asymptotic is dominated by the hyperbolic volume of knot complement. Recently it has been realized that the quantum dilogarithm function plays a crucial role in the quantum cluster algebra. We have used a technique of the quantum cluster algebra to reveal a relationship between the quantum dilogarithm function and the three-dimensional hyperbolic geometry. We constructed the quantum R-operator based on cluster mutation, and derived the Kashaev R-matrix by use of the quantum dilogarithm function.
