Abstract

We establish a relation between the coefficients of asymptotic expansion of the trivial connection contribution to Witten's invariant of rational homology spheres and the invariants that T. Ohtsuki extracted from Witten's invariant at prime values ofK. We also rederive the properties of primeK invariants discovered by H. Murakami and T. Ohtsuki. We do this by using the bounds on Taylor series expansion of the Jones polynomial of algebraically split links, studied in our previous paper. These bounds are enough to prove that Ohtsuki's invariants are of finite type. The relation between Ohtsuki's invariants and trivial connection contribution is verified explicitly for lens spaces and Seifert manifolds.
