On rack polynomials

Geometric Topology 2019-03-13 v1 Quantum Algebra

Abstract

We study rack polynomials and the link invariants they define. We show that constant action racks are classified by their generalized rack polynomials and show that nsatans^at^a-quandles are not classified by their generalized quandle polynomials. We use subrack polynomials to define enhanced rack counting invariants, generalizing the quandle polynomial invariants.
