A TQFT-based Platform for Efficient Computation of Knot Invariants
Abstract
We present an interactive web platform that unifies the construction Feynman ribbon diagrams (FRDs), the evaluation of higher-rank Chern--Simons knot invariants, and the identification of FRD-like knots at higher crossing numbers. These tree-structured diagrams naturally represent arborescent knots, which we refer to throughout as FRD-like knots. Within a single visual environment, users can construct an FRD as a tensor network, evaluate its associated Chern--Simons invariants, and use the resulting invariant data to distinguish and identify the corresponding knot. To our knowledge, this is the first platform to combine diagrammatic construction, tensor-network evaluation, invariant computation, and knot identification within a unified workflow.
