Abstract

We elaborate on the recent observation that evolution for twist knots simplifies when described in terms of triangular evolution matrix B{\cal B}, not just its eigenvalues Λ\Lambda, and provide a universal formula for B{\cal B}, applicable to arbitrary rectangular representation R=[rs]R=[r^s]. This expression is in terms of skew characters and it remains literally the same for the 4-graded rectangularly-colored hyperpolynomials, if characters are substituted by Macdonald polynomials. Due to additional factorization property of the differential-expansion coefficients for the double-braid knots, explicit knowledge of twist-family evolution leads to a nearly explicit answer for Racah matrix Sˉ\bar S in arbitrary rectangular representation RR. We also relate matrix evolution to existence of a peculiar rotation UU of Racah matrix, which diagonalizes the ZZ-factors in the differential expansion -- what can be a key to further generalization to non-rectangular representations RR.
