We generalize Kauffman's famous formula defining the Jones polynomial of an oriented link in 3-space from his bracket and the writhe of an oriented diagram. Our generalization is an epimorphism between skein modules of tangles in compact…
In this paper, we propose and discuss implications of a general conjecture that there is a canonical action of a rank 1 double affine Hecke algebra on the Kauffman bracket skein module of the complement of a knot $K \subset S^3$. We prove…
We sum multivariate generating functions composed of products of Chebyshev polynomials of the first and the second kind. That is, we find closed forms of expressions of the type $\sum_{j\geq0}\rho^{j}\prod_{m=1}^{k}T_{j+t_{m}}%…
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 show that the if a sequence of normalized polynomials gives rise to a positive basis of the skein algebra of a surface, then it is sandwiched between the two types of Chebyshev polynomials. For the closed torus, we show that the…
The main object of the paper is to reveal connections between Chebyshev polynomials of the first and second kinds and Fibonacci polynomials introduced by Catalan. This is achieved by relating the respective (ordinary and exponential)…
We study a certain skein element in the relative Kauffman bracket skein module of the disk with some marked points, and expand this element in terms linearly independent elements of this module. This expansion is used to compute and study…
The Kauffman bracket skein algebra is a quantization of the algebra of regular functions on the $SL_2$ character variety of a topological surface. We realize the skein algebra of the $4$-punctured sphere as the output of a mirror symmetry…
Polynomial invariants corresponding to the fundamental representation of the gauge group $SO(N)$ are computed for arbitrary torus knots in the framework of Chern-Simons gauge theory making use of knot operators. As a result, a formula which…
For every oriented surface of finite type, we construct a functorial Khovanov homology for links in a thickening of the surface, which takes values in a categorification of the corresponding gl(2) skein module. The latter is a mild…
We give a direct and intuitive proof (via sliding some columns up and down) of the following interesting fact: if we write out the Chebyshev polynomials in a chart and take the sums of coefficients along certain diagonals, we obtain the…
The main result of the article says that the formal power series equal to the ratio of two neighboring Chebyshev polynomials, after some renormalization, approximates the generating function of the Catalan numbers. We present a proof of…
Let $F$ be a finite type surface and $\zeta$ a complex root of unity. The Kauffman bracket skein algebra $K_{\zeta}(F)$ is an important object in both classical and quantum topology as it has relations to the character variety, the…

A simple matrix formulation of the Fibonacci, Lucas, Chebyshev, and Dixon polynomials polynomials is presented. It utilizes the powers and the symmetric tensor powers of a certain matrix.

We compute the Kauffman skein module of the complement of torus knots in S^3. Precisely, we show that these modules are isomorphic to the algebra of Sl(2,C)-characters tensored with the ring of Laurent polynomials.
We extend the necessity part of Lucas Lehmer iteration for testing Mersenne prime to all base and uniformly for both generalized Mersenne and Wagstaff numbers(the later correspond to negative base). The role of the quadratic iteration $x…
We generalize Mertens' product theorem to Chebotarev sets of prime ideals in Galois extensions of number fields. Using work of Rosen, we extend an argument of Williams from cyclotomic extensions to this more general case. Additionally, we…
