Knots, particles and the geometry of 3-manifolds — •Torsten Aßelmeyer-Maluga1 and Helge Rosé2 — 1Aerospace Center (DLR), Rutherfordstr. 2, 12489 Berlin — 2FhG FIRST, Kekulestr.7, 12489 Berlin
The model of Bilson-Thompson (hep-th/0603022 ) and its extension (arXiv:0804.0037) was the starting point in using again knots and links as a model for particles. It has some attractive features but many questions are open. We study an essential modification of the model which uses knot complements. Then we will get a connection between the particular knot and the geometry of the 3-manifold. This implies a relation between knot invariants and physical properties of a particle. The quantization using topology will be also discussed.
