Abstract

Recently, Hitoshi Murakami has shown that the quantum SU(2)- and SO(3)-invariants of 3-manifolds at roots of unity of prime order are algebraic integers. Unfortunately, his proof is by a very complicated computation. Here, a quite different and very simple proof is presented, based on the second author's method to show that the Turaev–Viro invariant is the square of the modulus of the Reshetikhin–Turaev invariant.
