2 00 3 Categorifications of the colored Jones polynomial

چکیده
The colored Jones polynomial of links has two natural normalizations: one in which the n-colored unknot evaluates to [n + 1], the quantum dimension of the (n + 1)-dimensional irreducible representation of quantum sl(2), and the other in which it evaluates to 1. For each normalization we construct a bigraded cohomology theory of links with the colored Jones polynomial as the Euler characteristic.

We show examples of knots with the same polynomial invariants and hyperbolic volume, with variously coinciding 2-cable polynomials and colored Jones polynomials, which are not mutants. AMS Classifications: 57M25, 57N70
متن کاملThe Colored Jones Polynomial and the A-polynomial of Two-bridge Knots
We study relationships between the colored Jones polynomial and the A-polynomial of a knot. We establish for a large class of 2-bridge knots the AJ conjecture (of Garoufalidis) that relates the colored Jones polynomial and the A-polynomial. Along the way we also calculate the Kauffman bracket skein module of all 2-bridge knots. Some properties of the colored Jones polynomial of alternating knot...
متن کاملAsymptotics of the Colored Jones Polynomial and the A-polynomial
The N-colored Jones polynomial JK (N) is a quantum invariant which is defined based on the N-dimensional irreducible representation of the quantum group Uq(sl(2)). Motivated by Volume Conjecture raised by Kashaev [16], it was pointed out that the colored Jones polynomial at a specific value should be related to the hyperbolic volume of knot complement [21]. As another example of the knot invari...
متن کاملKnot Cabling and the Degree of the Colored Jones Polynomial Ii
We continue our study of the degree of the colored Jones polynomial under knot cabling started in [8]. Under certain hypothesis on this degree, we determine how the Jones slopes and the linear term behave under cabling. As an application we verify Garoufalidis’ Slope Conjecture and a conjecture of [8] for cables of a two-parameter family of closed 3-braids called 2-fusion knots. 2010 Mathematic...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Quantum Gravity, Chern-Simons Theory, And The A-Polynomial
We study three-dimensional Chern-Simons theory with complex gauge group SL(2,C), which has many interesting connections with threedimensional quantum gravity and geometry of hyperbolic 3-manifolds. We show that, in the presence of a single knotted Wilson loop in an infinitedimensional representation of the gauge group, the classical and quantum properties of such theory are described by an alge...
