In previous work, we developed diagram-independent upper bounds on the maximum degree of the Jones polynomial of three families of positive links. These families are characterized by the second coefficient of the Jones polynomial. In this…

Eisermann has shown that the Jones polynomial of a $n$-component ribbon link $L\subset S^3$ is divided by the Jones polynomial of the trivial $n$-component link. We improve this theorem by extending its range of application from links in…

Rosso and Jones gave a formula for the colored Jones polynomial of a torus knot, colored by an irreducible representation of a simple Lie algebra. The Rosso-Jones formula involves a plethysm function, unknown in general. We provide an…

We prove that the N-colored Jones polynomial for the torus knot T_{s,t} satisfies the second order difference equation, which reduces to the first order difference equation for a case of T_{2,2m+1}. We show that the A-polynomial of the…

DAHA-Jones polynomials of torus knots $T(r,s)$ are studied systematically for reduced root systems and in the case of $C^\vee C_1$. We prove the polynomiality and evaluation conjectures from the author's previous paper on torus knots and…

Let $K_{(m,p)}$ denote the family of double twist knots where $2m-1$ and $2p$ are non-zero integers denoting the number of half-twists in each region. Using a result of Takata, we prove a formula for the colored Jones polynomial of…

We construct {\it quantum hyperbolic invariants} (QHI) for triples $(W,L,\rho)$, where $W$ is a compact closed oriented 3-manifold, $\rho$ is a flat principal bundle over $W$ with structural group $PSL(2,\mc)$, and $L$ is a non-empty link…
