The Kauffman Polynomials of Generalized Hopf Links
نویسندگان
چکیده
Following the recent work by Chan [4] and Morton and Hadji [7] on the Homflypt polynomials of some generalized Hopf links, we investigate the Kauffman polynomials of generalized Hopf links. By studying the Kauffman skein module of the solid torus S × D, we establish a similar skein map on the Kauffman skein module of S × D which has distinct eigenvalues. Furthermore we are able to calculate the Kauffman polynomials of some specific generalized Hopf links.

A link polynomial via a vertex-edge-face state model
We construct a 2-variable link polynomial, called WL, for classical links by considering simultaneously the Kauffman state models for the Alexander and for the Jones polynomials. We conjecture that this polynomial is the product of two 1-variable polynomials, one of which is the Alexander polynomial. We refine WL to an ordered set of 3-variable polynomials for those links in 3-space which conta...
متن کاملThe Jones and Alexander polynomials for singular links
We extend the Kauffman state models of the Jones and Alexander polynomials of classical links to state models of their two-variable extensions in the case of singular links. Moreover, we extend both of them to polynomials with d+1 variables for long singular knots with exactly d double points. These extensions can detect non-invertibility of long singular knots. 1

Quasitriangular Hopf algebras are examples of quantum algebras and orie...
متن کاملHomfly and Kauffman polynomials
We calculate the dimensions of the space of Vassiliev invariants coming from the Homfly polynomial of links, and of the space of Vassiliev invariants coming from the Kauffman polynomial of links. We show that the intersection of these spaces is spanned by the Vassiliev invariants coming from the Jones polynomial and from a polynomial called Υ. We also show that linearly independent Vassiliev in...
متن کاملSpin Models for Link Polynomials, Strongly Regular Graphs and Jaeger's Higman-sims Model
We recall first some known facts on Jones and Kauffman polynomials for links, and on state models for link invariants. We give next an exposition of a recent spin model due to F. Jaeger and which involves the Higman-Sims graph. The associated invariant assigns to an oriented link the evaluation for a = τ 5 and z = 1 of its Kauffman polynomial in the Dubrovnik form, where τ denotes the golden ra...
