Quantum Enhancements via Tribracket Brackets

Geometric Topology 2023-11-21 v3 Quantum Algebra

Abstract

We enhance the tribracket counting invariant with \textit{tribracket brackets}, skein invariants of tribracket-colored oriented knots and links analogously to biquandle brackets. This infinite family of invariants includes the classical quantum invariants and tribracket cocycle invariants as special cases, as well as new invariants. We provide explicit examples as well as questions for future work.
