Yokota suggested an optimistic limit method of the Kashaev invariants of hyperbolic knots and showed it determines the complex volumes of the knots. His method is very effective and gives almost combinatorial method of calculating the…
In this work, we explore the combinatorics arising from the quiver generating series of the unreduced $r$-colored HOMFLY-PT polynomial $\bar{P}_r(a,q)$ for some twist-knots and double twist knots. By taking the limit $a = 0$ and $q = 1$, we…
Wilson-loop averages in Chern-Simons theory (HOMFLY polynomials) can be evaluated in different ways -- the most difficult, but most interesting of them is the hypercube calculus, the only one applicable to virtual knots and used also for…
For the potential function of a link diagram induced by the optimistic limit of the colored Jones polynomial, we show the existence of a solution of the hyperbolicity equations by directly constructing it. This construction is based on the…
For $D$ a reduced alternating surface link diagram, we bound the twist number of $D$ in terms of the coefficients of a polynomial invariant. To this end, we introduce a generalization of the homological Kauffman bracket defined by Krushkal.…
We recently discovered a relationship between the volume density spectrum and the determinant density spectrum for infinite sequences of hyperbolic knots. Here, we extend this study to new quantum density spectra associated to quantum…
The Homflypt and Kauffman skein modules of the projective space are computed. Both are free and generated by some infinite set of links. This set may be chosen to be L_n, where L_n is an arbitrary link consisting of n projective lines for…
This is an introduction to the Volume Conjecture and its generalizations for nonexperts. The Volume Conjecture states that a certain limit of the colored Jones polynomial of a knot would give the volume of its complement. If we deform the…
We present a comprehensive classification of invariants of knots and links associated with irreducible representations of \uqslN{}, when the parameter of quantization $q$ is a root of unity. We demonstrate that, besides the standard…
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…
A Gauss diagram is a simple, combinatorial way to present a knot. It is known that any Vassiliev invariant may be obtained from a Gauss diagram formula that involves counting (with signs and multiplicities) subdiagrams of certain…
We give criteria for oriented links to be periodic of prime order using the quantum $\mathrm{SL}(N)$-invariant. The criteria are based upon an observation on the linking number between a periodic knot and its axis of the rotation.
We describe completely the link invariants constructed using Markov traces on the Yokonuma-Hecke algebras in terms of the linking matrix and the HOMFLYPT polynomials of sublinks.
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…
We introduce and compute a 2-parameter family deformation of the A-polynomial that encodes the color dependence of the superpolynomial and that, in suitable limits, reduces to various deformations of the A-polynomial studied in the…
M. Khovanov and L. Rozansky gave a categorification of the HOMFLY-PT polynomial. This study is a generalization of the Khovanov-Rozansky homology. We define a homology associated to the quantum $(sl_n,\land V_n)$ link invariant, where…
The Vassiliev conjecture states that the Vassiliev invariants are dense in the space of all numerical link invariants in the sense that any link invariant is a pointwise limit of Vassiliev invariants. In this article, we prove that the…
We consider knot invariants in the context of large $N$ transitions of topological strings. In particular we consider aspects of Lagrangian cycles associated to knots in the conifold geometry. We show how these can be explicity constructed…
This work is dedicated to the consideration of the construction of a representation of braid group generators from vertex models with $N$-states, which provides a great way to study the knot invariant. An algebraic formula is proposed for…
We reveal a relationship between the colored Jones polynomial and the A-polynomial for twist knots. We demonstrate that an asymptotics of the $N$-colored Jones polynomial in large $N$ gives the potential function, and that the A-polynomial…
