Abstract

The Turaev-Viro invariants are topological invariants of closed 3-manifolds. In this paper, we give a formula of the Turaev-Viro invariants of all orientable closed Seifert fibered manifolds. Our formula is based on a new construction of special spines of all orientable closed Seifert fibered manifolds and the``gluing lemma'' of topological quantum field theory. By using our formula, we get sufficient conditions of coincidence of the Turaev-Viro invariants of orientable closed Seifert fibered manifolds.
