The $\mathfrak{sl}_3$ colored Jones polynomials for $2$-bridge links

Geometric Topology 2018-01-19 v2

Abstract

Kuperberg introduced web spaces for some Lie algebras which are generalizations of the Kauffman bracket skein module on a disk with marked points. We derive some formulas for A1A_1 and A2A_2 clasped web spaces by graphical calculus using skein theory. These formulas are colored version of skein relations, twist formulas and bubble skein expansion formulas. We calculate the sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2 and sl3\mathfrak{sl}_3 colored Jones polynomials of 22-bridge knots and links explicitly using twist formulas.
