We say that a given knot $J\subset S^3$ is detected by its knot Floer homology and $A$-polynomial if whenever a knot $K\subset S^3$ has the same knot Floer homology and the same $A$-polynomial as $J$, then $K=J$. In this paper we show that…

For a knot K in S^3, let T(K) be the characteristic toric sub-orbifold of the orbifold (S^3,K) as defined by Bonahon and Siebenmann. If K has unknotting number one, we show that an unknotting arc for K can always be found which is disjoint…

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 compute the invariants for a class of knots and links in arbitrary representations in $S^3/\mathbb{Z}_p$ in the large $k$ (level), large $N$ (rank) limit, keeping $N/(k+N)=\lambda$ fixed, in $U(N)$ and $Sp(N)$ Chern-Simons theories.…

Torus knots are an important family of knots about which much is understood; invariants of torus knots often exhibit nice formulas, making them convenient and fundamental building blocks for examples in knot theory. Spiral knots, defined…

In this paper we prove a mirror symmetry conjecture based on the work of Brini-Eynard-Mari\~no \cite{BEM} and Diaconescu-Shende-Vafa \cite{DSV}. This conjecture relates open Gromov-Witten invariants of the conifold transition of a torus…

We introduce topological invariants of knots and braid conjugacy classes, in the form of differential graded algebras, and present an explicit combinatorial formulation for these invariants. The algebras conjecturally give the relative…

We formulate the holographic principle for knots and links. For the "space" of all knots and links, torus knots T(2m+1,2) and torus links L(2m,2) play the role of the "boundary" of this space. Using the holographic principle, we find the…

All knots in $R^3$ possess Seifert surfaces, and so the classical Thurston-Bennequin and rotation (or Maslov) invariants for Legendrian knots in a contact structure on $R^3$ can be defined. The definitions extend easily to null-homologous…

We extend recent work by Howie, Mathews and Purcell to simplify the calculation of A-polynomials for any family of hyperbolic knots related by twisting. The main result follows from the observation that equations defining the deformation…

We suggest to use the Hall-Littlewood version of Rosso-Jones formula to define the germs of $p$-adic HOMFLY-PT polynomials for torus knots $[m,n]$, which possess at least the $[m,n] \longleftrightarrow [n,m]$ topological invariance. This…

Using the method of Elias-Hogancamp and combinatorics of toric braids we give an explicit formula for the triply graded Khovanov-Rozansky homology of an arbitrary torus knot, thereby proving some of the conjectures of Aganagic-Shakirov,…

We conjecture the existence of four independent gradings in the colored HOMFLY homology. We describe these gradings explicitly for the rectangular colored homology of torus knots and make qualitative predictions of various interesting…

We study certain linear representations of the knot group that induce augmentations of knot contact homology. This perspective on augmentations enhances our understanding of the relationship between the augmentation polynomial and the…

A torus-covering $T^2$-knot is a surface-knot of genus one determined from a pair of commutative braids. For a torus-covering $T^2$-knot $F$, we determine the number of irreducible metabelian $SU(2)$-representations of the knot group of $F$…

We formulate large $N$ duality of $\mathrm{U}(N)$ refined Chern-Simons theory with a torus knot/link in $S^3$. By studying refined BPS states in M-theory, we provide the explicit form of low-energy effective actions of Type IIA string…

Tied links in $S^3$ were introduced by Aicardi and Juyumaya as standard links in $S^3$ equipped with some non-embedded arcs, called {\it ties}, joining some components of the link. Tied links in the Solid Torus were then naturally…

In 1993 Rosso and Jones computed for every simple, complex Lie algebra g_C and every colored torus knot in S^3 the value of the corresponding U_q(g_C)-quantum invariant by using the machinery of quantum groups. In the present paper we…

We give a topological realization of the (spherical) double affine Hecke algebra $\mathrm{SH}_{q,t}$ of type $A_1$, and we use this to construct a module over $\mathrm{SH}_{q,t}$ for any knot $K \subset S^3$. As an application, we give a…

We give a complete coarse classification of Legendrian and transverse torus knots in any contact structure on $S^3$.
