On the Kauffman-Jones polynomial for virtual singular links

Geometric Topology 2019-06-04 v2

Abstract

We extend the Kamada-Miyazawa polynomial to virtual singular links, which is valued in Z[A2,A2,h]\mathbb{Z}[A^2, A^{-2}, h]. The decomposition of the resulting polynomial into two components, one in Z[A2,A2]\mathbb{Z}[A^2, A^{-2}] and the other in Z[A2,A2]h\mathbb{Z}[A^2, A^{-2}]h yields the decomposition of the Kauffman-Jones polynomial of virtual singular links into two components, one in Z[A2,A2]\mathbb{Z}[A^2, A^{-2}] and the other in Z[A2,A2]A2\mathbb{Z}[A^2, A^{-2}]A^2, where both components are invariants for virtual singular links.
