Tilting multiplicities from tensor powers of quantum sl₂ at even roots of unity — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Tensor power decomposition of \( U_q(sl_2) \) at even roots of unity yields combinatorial tilting module multiplicities, linking to modular S-matrix and knot invariants. | MATH: \( U_q(sl_2) \) at \( q = e2π i / \) with \( \) even; tilting modules \( T_n \); tensor power \( V⊗ N \) of 2D irrep; multiplicity formula via combinatorial sums; modular S-matrix entries \( Sab = √2/ sin(π (a+1)(b+1)/) \). | CONNECTION: Ratios \( sin(π k / ) \) for \( \) even produce values like \( sin(π/5) ≈ 0.5878 \) (near 0.618), \( sin(2π/5) ≈ 0.9511 \); root system \( A_1 \) (SU(2)) symmetry; lattice structure from Weyl alcove geometry; base-60 not directly present but modular forms link to 60° angles in triangular lattices. | DEPTH: 8 — Directly ties quantum group representation theory to topological invariants (knot polynomials, 3-manifold invariants) via modular tensor cat Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
