Paper reduces turbomachinery CFD simulations by identifying key dimensions.
We give two formulae which express the Alexander polynomial of several variables of a plane curve singularity in terms of the ring of germs of analytic functions on the curve. One of them expresses in terms of dimensions of some factorspaces corresponding to a (multi-indexed) filtration o…
A novel online GP model captures long-term memory in sequential data.
Proves divisibility relations for symplectic curve polynomials.
We use Reidemeister torsion to study a twisted Alexander polynomial, as defined by Turaev, for links in the projective space. Using sign-refined torsion we derive a skein relation for a normalized form of this polynomial.
The paper studies knots in projective space using virtual link theory.
We construct a 2-variable link polynomial, called , for classical links by considering simultaneously the Kauffman state models for the Alexander and for the Jones polynomials. We conjecture that this polynomial is the product of two 1-variable polynomials, one of which is the Alexander polynomial. We refine …
The Jones polynomial of an alternating link is a certain specialization of the Tutte polynomial of the (planar) checkerboard graph associated to an alternating projection of the link. The Bollobas-Riordan-Tutte polynomial generalizes the Tutte polynomial of planar graphs to graphs that are embedded in closed oriented s…
The paper certifies projective rigidity for once-punctured torus bundles using twisted Alexander polynomials.
We define a family of generalizations of the two-variable quandle polynomial. These polynomial invariants generalize in a natural way to eight-variable polynomial invariants of finite biquandles. We use these polynomials to define a family of link invariants which further generalize the quandle counting invariant.
Study Legendrian graph invariants via augmentation and ruling polynomials.
The Kauffman-Vogel polynomials are three variable polynomial invariants of -valent rigid vertex graphs. A one-variable specialization of the Kauffman-Vogel polynomials for unoriented -valent rigid vertex graphs was given by using the Kauffman bracket and the Jones-Wenzl idempotent colored with . Bataineh, Elha…

The paper encodes local shapes of polynomial curves using permutations.
We determine the expected curvature polynomial of random real projective varieties given as the zero set of independent random polynomials with Gaussian distribution, whose distribution is invariant under the action of the orthogonal group. In particular, the expected Euler characteristic of such random real projective…
We extend the state models for Jones and Alexander polynomials of classical links to state models of 2-variable polynomials in the case of singular links. Moreover, we extend both of them to polynomials with d+1 variables for long singular knots with exactly d double points. These extensions can detect non-invertibilit…

New findings on Jones polynomial for 4-strand braids.
We define several homology theories for central hyperplane arrangements, categorifying well-known polynomial invariants including the characteristic polynomial, Poincare polynomial, and Tutte polynomial. We consider basic algebraic properties of such chain complexes, including long-exact sequences associated to deletio…
Unified ADO and colored Jones polynomials for knots.
For curved projective manifolds we introduce a notion of a normal tractor frame field, based around any point. This leads to canonical systems of (redundant) coordinates that generalise the usual homogeneous coordinates on projective space. These give preferred local maps to the model projective space that encode geome…
This paper generalizes knot polynomials to include the HOMFLY polynomial.
A new polynomial invariant for strongly involutive links.
This article provides an overview of relative strengths of polynomial invariants of knots and links, such as the Alexander, Jones, Homflypt, Kaufman two-variable polynomial, and Khovanov polynomial.
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 Vol-Det Conjecture relates the volume and the determinant of a hyperbolic alternating link in . We use exact computations of Mahler measures of two-variable polynomials to prove the Vol-Det Conjecture for many infinite families of alternating links. We conjecture a new lower bound for the Mahler measure of cer…
Two categorifications are given for the arrow polynomial, an extension of the Kauffman bracket polynomial for virtual knots. The arrow polynomial extends the bracket polynomial to infinitely many variables, each variable corresponding to an integer {\it arrow number} calculated from each loop in an oriented state summa…
We present a new 2-variable generalization of the Jones polynomial that can be defined through the skein relation of the Jones polynomial. The well-definedness of this new generalization is proved both algebraically and diagrammatically as well as via a closed combinatorial formula. This new invariant is able to distin…
New Alexander polynomial defined for transverse graphs.
We give a congruence relating a one variable specialization of the two variable Kauffman polynomial of any periodic link to that of its mirror image. Consequently, we obtain a new and simple criterion for periodicity of links.
Researchers found indecomposable Killing tensor fields on quaternionic projective spaces.
In this paper, we show that Alexander polynomials for any 2-bridge knots are specializations of cluster variables. A key tool is an ancestral triangle which appeared in both quantum topology and hyperbolic geometry in different ways.

Spaces of polynomials are shown to be Euclidean balls.
In the last chapter of his book "The Algebraic Theory of Modular Systems " published in 1916, F. S. Macaulay developped specific techniques for dealing with " unmixed polynomial ideals " by introducing what he called " inverse systems ". The purpose of this paper is to extend such a point of view to differential module…
New geometric approach for analyzing compositional data like gut microbiomes.
This paper presents a new ensemble learning method for classification problems called projection pursuit random forest (PPF). PPF uses the PPtree algorithm introduced in Lee et al. (2013). In PPF, trees are constructed by splitting on linear combinations of randomly chosen variables. Projection pursuit is used to choos…
We define a multi-variable version of the Affine Index Polynomial for virtual links. This invariant reduces to the original Affine Index Polynomial in the case of virtual knots, and also generalizes the version for compatible virtual links recently developed by L. Kauffman. We prove that this invariant is a Vassiliev i…
Non-Gaussian component analysis (NGCA) is a problem in multidimensional data analysis which, since its formulation in 2006, has attracted considerable attention in statistics and machine learning. In this problem, we have a random variable in -dimensional Euclidean space. There is an unknown subspace of the …
Updated polynomial for virtual tangles, compatible with decompositions.
We construct a new inductive basis of the Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebra. Using it, we provide a new proof of the existence of the Markov trace on the BMW algebras affording the two-variable Kauffman polynomial. We prove also that all the transverse Markov traces on the BMW algebras are determined by the self-linking nu…
