Vassiliev invariants for knots from the ADO polynomials

Abstract

In this paper we prove that the rr-th ADO polynomial of a knot, for rr a power of prime number, can be expanded as Vassiliev invariants with values in Z\mathbb{Z}. Nevertheless this expansion is not unique and not easily computable. We can obtain a unique computable expansion, but we only get rr adic topological Vassiliev invariants as coefficients. To do so, we exploit the fact that the colored Jones polynomials can be decomposed as Vassiliev invariants and we tranpose it to ADO using the unified knot invariant recovering both ADO and colored Jones defined in arXiv:2003.09854. Finally we prove some asymptotic behavior of the ADO polynomials modulo rr as rr goes to infinity.
