We obtain bounds on hyperbolic volume for periodic links and Conway sums of alternating tangles. For links that are Conway sums we also bound the hyperbolic volume in terms of the coefficients of the Jones polynomial.

We compute the vacuum expectation values of torus knot operators in Chern-Simons theory, and we obtain explicit formulae for all classical gauge groups and for arbitrary representations. We reproduce a known formula for the HOMFLY…

In the generalized topological quantum field theory constructed by Andersen and Kashaev, invariants of 3-manifolds are defined given the combinatorial structure of a tetrahedral decomposition. Furthermore, a variant of the volume conjecture…

We investigate the Reshetikhin--Turaev invariants associated to SU(2) for the 3-manifolds M obtained by doing any rational surgery along the figure 8 knot. In particular, we express these invariants in terms of certain complex double…

We show that every two-bridge knot $K$ of crossing number $N$ admits a polynomial parametrization $x=T_3(t), y = T_b(t), z =C(t)$ where $T_k(t)$ are the Chebyshev polynomials and $b+\deg C = 3N$. If $C (t)= T_c(t)$ is a Chebyshev…

Vassiliev's knot invariants can be computed in different ways but many of them as Kontsevich integral are very difficult. We consider more visual diagram formulas of the type Polyak-Viro and give new diagram formula for the two basic…

Sinha and Vafa had conjectured that the $SO$ Chern-Simons gauge theory on $S^3$ must be dual to the closed $A$-model topological string on the orientifold of a resolved conifold. Though the Chern-Simons free energy could be rewritten in…

Given a 3-manifold that can be written as the double of a compression body, we compute the Chern-Simons critical values for arbitrary compact connected structure groups. We also show that the moduli space of flat connections is connected…

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…

Chern-Simons theories, which are topological quantum field theories, provide a field theoretic framework for the study of knots and links in three dimensions. These are rare examples of quantum field theories which can be exactly and…

We study the volume conjecture of the colored Jones invariants with sequences of colors corresponding to the deformation of the hyperbolic structure of a link complement. In particular, we investigate certain limits of the colored Jones…

Formulas previously presented for the Casson-Walker invariant are generalized to Lescop's extension. These formulas in terms of linking numbers and surgery coefficients compute the change in Lescop's invariant under crossing changes in a…

The 2-loop polynomial is a polynomial presenting the 2-loop part of the Kontsevich invariant of knots. We show a cabling formula for the 2-loop polynomial of knots. In particular, we calculate the 2-loop polynomial for torus knots.

The Alexander polynomials \Delta_{n,3}(t) and \Delta_{n,4}(t) are presented as a sum of the Alexander polynomials \Delta_{k,2}(t). These polynomials are also expressed in the form of a sum of Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind. These…

The Links-Gould invariant of links $LG^{2,1}$ is a two-variable generalization of the Alexander-Conway polynomial. Using representation theory of $U_{q}\mathfrak{gl}(2 \vert 1)$, we prove that the degree of the Links-Gould polynomial…

The explicit formula, which expresses the Alexander polynomials \Delta_{n,3}(t) of torus knots T(n,3) as a sum of the Alexander polynomials \Delta_{k,2}(t) of torus knots T(k,2), is found. Using this result and those from our previous…

Quantum knot invariants (like colored HOMFLY-PT or Kauffman polynomials) are a distinguished class of non-perturbative topological invariants. Any known way to construct them (via Chern-Simons theory or quantum R-matrix) starts with a…

The Chen-Yang volume conjecture states that the growth rate of the Turaev-Viro invariants of a compact oriented $3$-manifold determines its simplicial volume. In this paper we prove that the Chen-Yang conjecture is stable under…

We generalize R. Riley's study about parabolic representations of two bridge knot groups to the general knots in $S^3$. We utilize the parabolic quandle method for general knot diagrams and adopt symplectic quandle for better investigation,…
