Abstract
Knot theory is actively studied both by physicists and mathematicians as it provides a connecting centerpiece for many physical and mathematical theories. One of the challenging problems in knot theory is distinguishing mutant knots. Mutant knots are not distinguished by colored HOMFLY-PT polynomials for knots colored by either symmetric and or antisymmetric representations of . Some of the mutant knots can be distinguished by the simplest non-symmetric representation . However there is a class of mutant knots which require more complex representations like . In this paper we calculate polynomials and differences for the mutant knot polynomials in representations and and study their properties.
