Study shows link polynomial evaluations from Heegaard Floer theory.
New relations for Penrose polynomial at n=4 and n=3.
New formulas for knot polynomial evaluations from covering spaces.
Recently V. Krushkal and D. Renardy generalized the Tutte polynomial from graphs to cell complexes. We show that evaluating this polynomial at the origin gives the number of cellular spanning trees in the sense of A. Duval, C. Klivans, and J. Martin. Moreover, after a slight modification, the Tutte-Krushkal-Renardy pol…
We introduce tensor network contraction algorithms for the evaluation of the Jones polynomial of arbitrary knots. The value of the Jones polynomial of a knot maps to the partition function of a -state Potts model defined as a planar graph with weighted edges that corresponds to the knot. For any integer , we cast…
The volume conjecture and its generalizations say that the colored Jones polynomial corresponding to the N-dimensional irreducible representation of sl(2;C) of a (hyperbolic) knot evaluated at exp(c/N) grows exponentially with respect to N if one fixes a complex number c near 2*Pi*I. On the other hand if the absolute v…
New skein theory for Links-Gould polynomial simplifies link evaluations.
Murakami-Ohtsuki-Yamada introduced an evaluation of certain oriented planar trivalent graphs with colored edges. This evaluation plays a key role in the evaluation of the colored HOMFLY polynomial of a link in 3-space and its Khovanov-Rozansky categorification. Our goal is is to give a generating series formula for the…
We give a purely combinatorial formula for evaluating closed decorated foams. Our evaluation gives an integral polynomial and is directly connected to an integral equivariant version of the link homology categorifying the link polynomial. We also provide connections to the equivarian…

Researchers compute and predict knot volumes using colored Jones polynomials.
We establish a relation between the trace evaluation in SO(3) topological quantum field theory and evaluations of a topological Tutte polynomial. As an application, a generalization of the Tutte golden identity is proved for graphs on the torus.
Unified ADO and colored Jones polynomials for knots.
We analyze relationships between quantum computation and a family of generalizations of the Jones polynomial. Extending recent work by Aharonov et al., we give efficient quantum circuits for implementing the unitary Jones-Wenzl representations of the braid group. We use these to provide new quantum algorithms for appro…
Alexander polynomial equals spanning tree count at t=1.
Qazaqzeh and Chbili showed that for any quasi-alternating link, the degree of -polynomial is less than its determinant. We give a refinement of their evaluation.
We illustrate from the viewpoint of braiding operations on WZNW conformal blocks how colored HOMFLY polynomials with multiplicity structure can detect mutations. As an example, we explicitly evaluate the (2,1)-colored HOMFLY polynomials that distinguish a famous mutant pair, Kinoshita-Terasaka and Conway knot.
New knot polynomials yield simple results modulo primes.
This paper presents an algorithm to construct a weighted adjacency matrix of a plane bipartite graph obtained from a pretzel knot diagram. The determinant of this matrix after evaluation is shown to be the Jones polynomial of the pretzel knot by way of perfect matchings (or dimers) of this graph. The weights are Tutte'…
Direct proof of Alexander polynomial scaling for L-shaped representations.
We show that the Kauffman bracket of a checkerboard colorable virtual link is an evaluation of the Bollobás-Riordan polynomial of a ribbon graph associated with . This result generalizes Thistlethwaite's celebrated theorem relating the Kauffman bracket with the Tutte polynomial of planar graphs.
It is known that evaluating a certain approximation to the Jones polynomial for the plat closure of a braid is a BQP-complete problem. That is, this problem exactly captures the power of the quantum circuit model. The one clean qubit model is a model of quantum computation in which all but one qubit starts in the maxim…
The volume conjecture for surface diffeomorphisms connects volumes to polynomial evaluations.
F. Jaeger presented the two-variable Kauffman polynomial of an unoriented link L as a weighted sum of HOMFLY-PT polynomials of oriented links associated with L. Murakami, Ohtsuki and Yamada (MOY) used planar graphs and a recursive evaluation of these graphs to construct a state model for the sl(n)-link invariant (a one…
The pioneering work of Jones and Kauffman unveiled a fruitful relationship between statistical mechanics and knot theory. Recently, Jones introduced two subgroups and of the Thompson groups and , respectively, together with a procedure that associates an oriented link diagram to any element o…
The volume conjecture and its generalization state that the series of certain evaluations of the colored Jones polynomials of a knot would grow exponentially and its growth rate would be related to the volume of a three-manifold obtained by Dehn surgery along the knot. In this paper, we show that for the figure-eight k…
In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of the colored Jones polynomials evaluated at roots of unity for a special class of knots. We show that certain limit is zero as predicted by the volume conjecture.
We define two new invariants for tied links. One of them can be thought as an extension of the Kauffman polynomial and the other one as an extension of the Jones polynomial which is constructed via a bracket polynomial for tied links. These invariants are more powerful than both the Kauffman and the bracket polynomials…
The topology of -representation varieties of the fundamental groups of planar webs so that the meridians are sent to matrices with trace equal to are explored, and compared to data coming from spider evaluation of the webs. Corresponding to an evaluation of a web as a spider is a rooted tree. We associate t…
Study on the growth of colored Jones polynomial for figure-eight knot cables.
PER-ETD improves ETD by reducing variance to polynomial complexity.
We express the colored Jones polynomial as the inverse of the quantum determinant of a matrix with entries in the -Weyl algebra of -operators, evaluated at the trivial function (plus simple substitutions). The Kashaev invariant is proved to be equal to another special evaluation of the determinant. We also discus…
For a ribbon graph we consider an alternating link in the 3-manifold represented as the product of the oriented surface and the unit interval . We show that the Kauffman bracket is an evaluation of the recently introduced Bollobas-Riordan polynomial . This results generalizes t…

Paper extends Cohen's method to compute Jones polynomial for certain braid subfamilies.
Using a modified foam evaluation, we give a categorification of the Alexander polynomial of a knot. We also give a purely algebraic version of this knot homology which makes it appear as the infinite page of a spectral sequence starting at the reduced triply graded link homology of Khovanov--Rozansky.
New method computes affine normal directions efficiently for sparse polynomials.
Categorifies colored Jones polynomial at roots of unity.
A new formula approximates knot volume using Jones polynomial evaluations.
For a hyperbolic knot and a natural number n, we consider the Alexander polynomial twisted by the n-th symmetric power of a lift of the holonomy. We establish the asymptotic behavior of these twisted Alexander polynomials evaluated at unit complex numbers, yielding the volume of the knot exterior. More generally, we pr…
We show how the signed evaluations of link polynomials can be used to calculate unknotting numbers. We use the Jones-Rong value of the Brandt-Lickorish-Millett-Ho polynomial Q to calculate the unknotting numbers of 8_{16}, 9_{49} and 6 further new entries in Kawauchi's tables. Another method is developed by applying an…
We introduce a new cohomology theory for planar trivalent graphs with perfect matchings. The graded Euler characteristic of the cohomology is a one variable polynomial called the 2-factor polynomial that, if nonzero when evaluated at one, implies that the perfect matching is even and therefore the graph is 4-face color…
