Knot polynomials colored with symmetric representations of $SL_q(N)$ satisfy difference equations as functions of representation parameter, which look like quantization of classical ${\cal A}$-polynomials. However, they are quite difficult…
The $q$-analogue of the binomial coefficient, known as a $q$-binomial coefficient, is typically denoted $\left[{n \atop k}\right]_q$. These polynomials are important combinatorial objects, often appearing in generating functions related to…
We study the Poisson (co)homology of the algebra of truncated polynomials in two variables viewed as the semi-classical limit of a quantum complete intersection studied by Bergh and Erdmann. We show in particular that the Poisson cohomology…
We compute the minimum crossing numbers for a family of Turaev genus 2 links to verify the Qazaqzeh-Chbili-Lowrance conjecture for the family.
As an extension of positive and almost positive diagrams and links, we study two classes of links we call successively almost positive and weakly successively almost positive links. We prove various properties of polynomial invariants and…
Let $s_{ij}$ represent a tranposition in $S_n$. A polynomial $P$ in $\mathbb{Q}[X_n]$ is said to be $m$-quasiinvariant with respect to $S_n$ if $(x_i-x_j)^{2m+1}$ divides $(1-s_{ij})P$ for all $1 \leq i, j \leq n$. We call the ring…
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.…
Fox's conjecture (1962) states that the sequence of absolute values of the coefficients of the Alexander polynomial of alternating links is trapezoidal. While the conjecture remains open in general, a number of special cases have been…
In an earlier work [K. Castillo et al., J. Math. Anal. Appl., 514 (2022) 126358], we give positive answer to the first, and apparently more easy, part of a conjecture of M. Ismail concerning the characterization of the continuous $q$-Jacobi…
In this paper, we study edge rings and their $h$-polynomials. We investigate when edge rings are pseudo-Gorenstein, which means that the leading coefficients of the $h$-polynomials of edge rings are equal to $1$. Moreover, we compute the…
In this paper, we construct the alternating multiple q-zeta function(= Multiple Euler q-zeta function) and investigate their properties. Finally, we give some interesting functional eauations related to q-Euler polynomials.
It is known that alternative links are pseudoalternating. In 1983 Louis Kauffman conjectured that both classes are identical. In this paper we prove that Kauffman Conjecture holds for those links whose first Betti number is at most 2.…
The decomposition of a quasi-abelian code into shorter linear codes over larger alphabets was given in (Jitman, Ling, (2015)), extending the analogous Chinese remainder decomposition of quasi-cyclic codes (Ling, Sol\'e, (2001)). We give a…
We present a logical and algebraic description of right adjoint functors between generalized quasi-varieties, inspired by the work of McKenzie on category equivalence. This result is achieved by developing a correspondence between the…
An association scheme is called quasi-thin if the valency of each its basic relation is one or two. A quasi-thin scheme is Kleinian if the thin residue of it forms a Klein group with respect to the relation product. It is proved that any…
We introduce the notion of quasi-orthogonal cocycle. This is motivated in part by the maximal determinant problem for square $\{\pm 1\}$-matrices of size congruent to $2$ modulo $4$. Quasi-orthogonal cocycles are analogous to the orthogonal…
We define a quasimodule Q over a bounded lattice L in an analogous way as a module over a semiring is defined. The essential difference is that L need not be distributive. Also for quasimodules there can be introduced the concepts of inner…
In this short note we revisit the `shift-desingularization' version of the $[Q,R]=0$ theorem for possibly singular symplectic quotients. We take as starting point an elegant proof due to Szenes-Vergne of the quasi-polynomial behavior of the…
A model of a q-harmonic oscillator based on q-Charlier polynomials of Al-Salam and Carlitz is discussed. Simple explicit realization of q-creation and q-annihilation operators, q-coherent states and an analog of the Fourier transformation…
We give an upper bound on the z-degree of the Kauffman polynomial of a link, using bridges of length greater than one which are separated in some tangle decomposition of a link diagram. We construct some examples by wiring together rational…
