• The colored Jones polynomials and the simplicial volume of a knot (with Hitoshi Murakami)
• Acta Math. 186 (2001), no. 1, 85--104.
• Kashaev intoruduced a knot invariant which is conjedtured to relate to the hyperbolic volume of the complement of a hyperbolic knot. In this paper show that Kashaev's invariant is equal to a specialization of the coloered Jones polynomial. This means that the colored Jones polynomial may relate to the hyperolic volume of the complement of a hyperbolic knot. We extend this conjecture to general knots by using the Gromov's simplicial volume.
• Finite type invariants detecting the mutant knots
• Knot Thoery -dedicated to Professor Kunio Murasugi for his 70th birthday- Toronto July 13th - 17th, 1999. Editors: M. Sakuma et al., Osaka University, March 2000, pp. 258-267.
• We show that there is no finite-type invariant of degree
less than 11 which distinguishes mutant knots.
• A three-manifold invariant via the Kontsevich integral (with Thang T. Q. Le, Hitoshi Murakami and Tomotada Ohtsuki)
• Osaka J. Math. 36 (2) (1999), 365-396.
• In this paper, we show a relation of the Kontsevich invariant concerning to the second Kirby move of links, which is important to construct the universal perturvative invariant.
We also study the degree 1 part of the universal perturvative invariant concretely and showed that this part coinsides with the Lescop's generalization of the Casson-Walker invariant.
• On a universal perturbative invariant of 3-manifolds (with Thang T. Q. Le and Tomotada Ohtsuki)
• Topology 37 (1998), 539-574.
• In this paper, we constructed the universal perturbative invariant of 3-manifolds from the Kontsevich invariant of links. T. T. Q. Le showed that the universal perturbative invariant is universal for the finite type invariant of rational homology spheres introduced by T. Ohtsuki and S. Garoufaridis. T. Ohtsuki showed that the perturbative SO(3) invariant of rational homology spheres is recovered from the universal perturbative invariant.
