In this paper we study $U(N)$ colored HOMFLY-PT polynomials of torus links in the double scaling limit (polynomial variable $q\rightarrow 1$, $N\rightarrow \infty$ keeping $q^N$ fixed). We show that, in this limit, the colored HOMFLY-PT…

Motivated by Stanley's generalization of the chromatic polynomial of a graph to the chromatic symmetric function, we introduce the characteristic polynomial of a representation of the symmetric group, or more generally, of a symmetric…

We give an explicit formula for the HOMFLY polynomial of a rational link (in particular, a knot) in terms of a special continued fraction for the rational number that defines the given link.

Obtaining colored HOMFLY-PT polynomials for knots from 3-strand braid carrying arbitrary $SU(N)$ representation is still tedious. For a class of rank $r$ symmetric representations, $[r]$-colored HOMFLY-PT $H_{[r]}$ evaluation becomes…

Turning the skein relation for HOMFLY into a Fibonacci recurrence, we prove that there are only three rational specializations of HOMFLY polynomial: Alexander-Conway, Jones, and a new one. Using the recurrence relation, we find general and…

In this paper, we investigate the properties of the full colored HOMFLYPT invariants in the full skein of the annulus $\mathcal{C}$. We show that the full colored HOMFLYPT invariant has a nice structure when $q\rightarrow 1$. The composite…

HOMFLY polynomials are one of the major knot invariants being actively studied. They are difficult to compute in the general case but can be far more easily expressed in certain specific cases. In this paper, we examine two particular…

The Links-Quivers Correspondence predicts that all the symmetric (or antisymmetric) colored HOMFLY-PT polynomials of a link can be recovered from a finite amount of data (a quiver) associated to the link. We give a new geometric proof of…

We propose a generalized version of knots-quivers correspondence, where the quiver series variables specialize to arbitrary powers of the knot HOMFLY-PT polynomial series variable. We explicitely compute quivers for large classes of knots,…

Obtaining a closed-form expression for the colored HOMFLY-PT polynomials of knots from $3$-strand braids carrying arbitrary $SU(N)$ representation is a challenging problem. In this paper, we confine our interest to twisted generalized…

We suggest to associate with each knot the set of coefficients of its HOMFLY polynomial expansion into the Schur functions. For each braid representation of the knot these coefficients are defined unambiguously as certain combinations of…

Starting from the free field realization of Kac-Moody Lie algebra, we define a generalized Yang-Yang function. Then for the Lie algebra of type $A_{n}$, we derive braiding and fusion matrix by braiding the thimble from the generalized…

Character expansion expresses extended HOMFLY polynomials through traces of products of finite dimensional R- and Racah mixing matrices. We conjecture that the mixing matrices are expressed entirely in terms of the eigenvalues of the…

Helly's theorem is a classical result concerning the intersection patterns of convex sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Two important generalizations are the colorful version and the fractional version. Recently, B\'{a}r\'{a}ny et al. combined the…

This paper is a new step in the project of systematic description of colored knot polynomials started in arXiv:1506.00339. In this paper, we managed to explicitly find the inclusive Racah matrix, i.e. the whole set of mixing matrices in…

We primarily investigate the properties of characteristic polynomials of semimatroids. In particular, we provide a combinatorial interpretation of their coefficients, generalizing the Whitney's Broken Circuit Theorem. We also prove that the…
