The Drinfeld double of a finite dimensional Hopf algebra is a
quasi-triangular Hopf algebra with the canonical element as the universal R
matrix, and we obtain a ribbon Hopf algebra by adding the ribbon element.
The universal quantum invariant is an invariant of framed links, and is
constructed diagrammatically using a ribbon Hopf algebra. In that
construction, a copy of the universal R matrix is attached to each positive
crossing, and invariance under the Reidemeister III move is shown by the
quantum Yang-Baxter equation of the universal R matrix.
On the other hand, R. Kashaev showed that the Heisenberg double has the
canonical element (the universal S matrix) satisfying the pentagon
relation. In this talk we reconstruct the universal quantum invariant using
Heisenberg double, and extend it to an invariant of colored ideal
triangulations of the complement. In this construction, a copy of the
universal S matrix is attached to each tetrahedron and the invariance under
the colored Pachner (2,3) move is shown by the pentagon equation of the
universal S matrix
