In this paper, we discuss twisted Alexander polynomials of a knot for group extensions of a finite group in two directions. Firstly, we provide a mod $p$ formula for the twisted Alexander polynomial of a knot in the $3$-sphere associated…
We conjecture a closed-form expression of HOMFLY-PT invariants of double twist knots colored by rectangular Young diagrams where the twist is encoded in interpolation Macdonald polynomials. We also put forth a conjecture of cyclotomic…

We produce a new basis for the Schur and Weyl modules associated to a row-convex shape, D. The basis is indexed by new class of "straight" tableaux which we introduce by weakening the usual requirements for standard tableaux. Spanning is…
Racah matrices of quantum algebras are of great interest at present time. These matrices have a relation with $\mathcal{R}$-matrices, which are much simpler than the Racah matrices themselves. This relation is known as the eigenvalue…
We consider dual polynomials of the multi-indexed ($q$-)Racah orthogonal polynomials. The $M$-indexed ($q$-)Racah polynomials satisfy the second order difference equations and various $1+2L$ ($L\geq M+1$) term recurrence relations with…
Let k be a local field and let A be the two-by-two matrix algebra over k. In our previous work we developed a theory that allows the computation of the set of maximal orders in A containing a given suborder. This set is given as a sub-tree…
The amplitudes of refined Chern-Simons (CS) theory, colored by antisymmetric (or symmetric) representations, conjecturally generate the Lambda^r- (or S^r-) colored triply graded homology of (n,m) torus knots. This paper is devoted to the…
We solve generalizations of Hubbard's twisted rabbit problem for analogues of the rabbit polynomial of degree $d\geq 2$. The twisted rabbit problem asks: when a certain quadratic polynomial, called the Douady Rabbit polynomial, is twisted…
The universal character of the Racah algebra will be illustrated by showing that it is at the center of the relations between the Racah polynomials, the recoupling of three su(1,1) representations and the symmetries of the generic…
Twisted torus knots are a generalization of torus knots, obtained by introducing additional full twists to adjacent strands of the torus knots. In this article, we present an explicit formula for the Alexander polynomial of twisted torus…
We study global subalgebras of superconformal algebras in two dimensions and their unitary representations. Global superconformal multiplets are decomposed into conformal multiplets using Racah-Speiser algorithm, revealing many essential…
Given a knot, we develop methods for finding the braid representative that minimizes the number of simple walks. Such braids lead to an efficient method for computing the colored Jones polynomial of $K$, following an approach developed by…
We describe a correspondence between augmentations and certain representations of the knot group. The correspondence makes the 2-variable augmentation polynomial into a generalization of the classical $A$-polynomial. It also associates to…
The shuffle lattice was introduced by Greene in 1988 as an idealized model for DNA mutation, when he revealed remarkable combinatorial properties of this structure. In this paper, we prove an explicit formula for the $M$-triangle of the…
Twisting a given knot $K$ about an unknotted circle $c$ a full $n \in \mathbb{N}$ times, we obtain a "twist family" of knots $\{ K_n \}$. Work of Kouno-Motegi-Shibuya implies that for a non-trivial twist family the crossing numbers…
Let $\Gamma$ be the fundamental group of the exterior of a knot in the three-sphere. We study deformations of representations of $\Gamma$ into $\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbf{C})$ which are the sum of two irreducible representations. For such…
We obtain two explicit formulas for the full local character expansion of any irreducible representation of a p-adic general linear group in principal blocks. The first, generalizing previous work of the author on the Iwahori-spherical…
We review the Reshetikhin-Turaev approach to construction of non-compact knot invariants involving R-matrices associated with infinite-dimensional representations, primarily those made from Faddeev's quantum dilogarithm. The corresponding…
