Colored HOMFLY-PT invariant, the generalization of the colored Jones polynomial, is one of the most important quantum invariants of links. This paper is devoted to investigating the basic structures of the colored HOMFLY-PT invariants of…
We discuss the consequences of the possibility that Vassiliev invariants do not detect knot invertibility as well as the fact that quantum Lie group invariants are known not to do so. On the other hand, finite group invariants, such as the…
A version of the tangential LS category is introduced for topological laminations with a transverse invariant measure. Here, we use the transverse measure of the contraction of a tangential categorical open set instead of counting this set.…
We are interested in Poisson structures transverse to nilpotent adjoint orbits in a complex semi-simple Lie algebra, and we study their polynomial nature, introduced by R.Cushman and M.Roberts. Furthermore, in the case of sl(n), we…
We establish results about the second cohomology with coefficients in the trivial module, symmetric invariant bilinear forms and derivations of a Lie algebra extended over a commutative associative algebra without unit. These results…
We define invariants for a framed link equipped with a SL2 local system in its complement and additional combinatorial data based on the theory of representations of stated skein algebras at roots of unity of punctured bigons and the…
Let $\Delta$ be a trivial knot in the three-sphere. For every finite cyclic group $G$ of odd order, we construct a $G$-equivariant Khovanov homology with coefficients in the filed $\F_{2}$. This homology is an invariant of links up to…
We construct the concordance invariant coming from the $E(-1)$ spectral sequence on Khovanov homology in the same way Rasmussen's $s$ invariant comes from the Lee spectral sequence, and show that it gives a bound on the nonorientable slice…
We study the relations between the invariants $\tau_{RT}$, $\tau_{HKR}$, and $\tau_L$ of Reshetikhin-Turaev, Hennings-Kauffman-Radford, and Lyubashenko, respectively. In particular, we discuss explicitly how $\tau_L$ specializes to…
We give a geometric interpretation of Bar-Natan's universal invariant for the class of tangles in the 3-ball with four ends: we associate with such 4-ended tangles $T$ multicurves $\widetilde{\operatorname{BN}}(T)$, that is, collections of…
New deformed affine algebras A_{\hbar,\eta}(\hat{g}) are defined for any simply-laced classical Lie algebra g, which are generalizations of the algebra A_{\hbar,\eta}(\hat{sl_2}) recently proposed by Khoroshkin, Lebedev and Pakuliak (KLP).…
We use the knot homology of Khovanov and Lee to construct link concordance invariants generalizing the Rasmussen $s$-invariant of knots. The relevant invariant for a link is a filtration on a vector space of dimension $2^{|L|}$. The basic…
We prove that the Khovanov homology of alternating knots and 2-component links is equal (as a singly graded group) to the singular homology of a certain space of trace- free, binary dihedral representations of the link group. More…
The c_2 invariant, defined by Schnetz in 2011, is an arithmetic graph invariant created towards a better understanding of Feynman integrals. This paper looks at some graph families of interest, with a focus on decompleted toroidal grids.…
Khovanov introduced a cohomology theory for oriented classical links whose graded Euler characteristic is the Jones polynomial. Since Khovanov's theory is functorial for link cobordisms between classical links, we obtain an invariant of a…
In 1999, Khovanov showed that a link invariant known as the Jones polynomial is the Euler characteristic of a homology theory. The knot categorification problem is to find a general construction of knot homology groups, and to explain their…
The perturbative expansion of Chern-Simons gauge theory leads to invariants of knots and links, the finite type invariants or Vassiliev invariants. It has been proven that at any order in perturbation theory the resulting expression is an…
Baseilhac-Benedetti, following ideas of Kashaev, introduced invariants of pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms of punctured hyperbolic surfaces that depend on a complex root of unity of odd order. Around the same time, Bonahon-Liu introduced…
We explore a family of invariants obtained from linking numbers. This is a family of Kauffman finite type invariants.
Computing polynomial invariants for knots and links using braid representations relies heavily on finding the trace of Hecke algebra elements. There is no easy method known for computing the trace and hence it becomes difficult to compute…
