The aim of this paper is to define two link invariants satisfying cubic skein relations. In the hierarchy of polynomial invariants determined by explicit skein relations they are the next level of complexity after Jones, HOMFLY, Kauffman…

This paper defines the concept of an oriented quantum algebra and develops its application to the construction of quantum link invariants. We show that all known quantum link invariants can be put into this framework.

In this thesis we investigate invariant transversals in finite groups by studying the connection between right conjugacy closed loops and finite groups. The interplay between loop theory and group theory has prompted discoveries in both…

We define some signature invariants for a class of knotted trivalent graphs using branched covers. We relate them to classical signatures of knots and links. Finally, we explain how to compute these invariants through the example of…

We construct smooth concordance invariants of knots which take the form of piecewise linear maps from [0,1] to R, one for each n greater than or equal to 2. These invariants arise from sl(n) knot cohomology. We verify some properties which…

We consider the problem of extending an acyclic binary relation that is invariant under a given family of transformations into an invariant preference. We show that when a family of transformations is commutative, every acyclic invariant…

We prove an inverse relation and a family of convolution formulas involving partial Bell polynomials. Known and some presumably new combinatorial identities of convolution type are discussed. Our approach relies on an interesting…

We automate the process of machine learning correlations between knot invariants. For nearly 200,000 distinct sets of input knot invariants together with an output invariant, we attempt to learn the output invariant by training a neural…

We derive families of Newton-like inequalities involving the elementary symmetric functions of sets of self-conjugate complex numbers in the right half-plane. These are the first known inequalities of this type which are independent of the…

Welded knotted objects are a combinatorial extension of knot theory, which can be used as a tool for studying ribbon surfaces in $4$-space. A finite type invariant theory for ribbon knotted surfaces was developped by Kanenobu, Habiro and…

We discuss the existence of Galois relations obeyed by certain link invariants. Some of these relations have recently been identified and exploited within the context of CFT and Lie/Kac-Moody representation theory. These relations should…

We consider several families of palintiples (also known as reverse multiples) whose carries themselves are digits of lower-base palintiples and give some methods for constructing them from fundamental palintiple types. We also continue the…

We give new functions of Legendrian knots derived from Legendrian fronts. These are integer-valued linear functions that are alike the Arnold basic invariant of plane curves. Various generalizations of the Arnold basic invariant have been…

In the prequel of this paper, Kauffman and Ogasa introduced new topological quantum invariants of compact oriented 3-manifolds with boundary where the boundary is a disjoint union of two identical surfaces. The invariants are constructed…

In this paper, we formulate a construction of ideal coset invariants for surface-links in $4$-space using invariants for knots and links in $3$-space. We apply the construction to the Kauffman bracket polynomial invariant and obtain an…

It is known that the writhe calculated from any reduced alternating link diagram of the same (alternating) link has the same value. That is, it is a link invariant if we restrict ourselves to reduced alternating link diagrams. This is due…

In this paper, we discuss a proof of the isotopy invariance of a parametrized Khovanov link homology including categorifications of the Jones polynomial and the Kauffman bracket polynomial though it is a known fact. In order to present a…

In our previous papers we introduced categorical invariants, which are, roughly speaking, sets of triangulated subcategories in a given triangulated category and their quotients. Here is extended the list of examples, where these sets are…

Virtual knot theory is a generalization of knot theory which is based on Gauss chord diagrams and link diagrams on closed oriented surfaces. A twisted knot is a generalization of a virtual knot, which corresponds to a link diagram on a…

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…
