Infinite-dimensional representations of $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ and the shadow world: quantum $6j$-symbols for Verma modules (2410.18463v1)

Abstract: This paper initiates the study of invariants of links associated to infinite-dimensional representations of $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ using graphical representation for quantum $6j$-symbols, the shadow world. We obtain formulae for $q3j$-symbols and $q6j$-symbols for Verma modules and study their properties. This hints at the structure of the possible target category for Reshetikhin-Turaev functor for such an invariant.
