✦ Synopsis


Definition 1.4. Let V(M, T, l) be the tensor product of the state spaces of all the tetrahedra of T in which the ordering of the factors is as described above. The tensor product of the respective partition functions applied to V(M, T, l) has its image in a permuted tensor product V(M, T, l)$. Again Remark 1.1 is vital. Now compose this linear map with the linear map P(M, T, l): V(M, T, l)$ Γ„ V(M, T, l) induced by the standard transposition P : x y Γ„ y x. The result is a linear map L(M, T, l) : V(M, T, l) Γ„ V(M, T, l). The element Z(M, T, l) # F is defined to be the trace of L(M, T, l).

In this paper we define a class of state-sum invariants of closed oriented piecewise linear 4-manifolds using finite groups. The definition of these state-sums follows from the general abstract construction of 4-manifold invariants using spherical 2-categories, as we defined in an earlier paper. We

Three-neighborly triangulations of eulerian 4-manifolds with n vertices can be interpreted as block designs S 2n-8 (2, 5, n). We discuss this correspondence and present a new cyclic example with 14 vertices.
