Search for different links with the same Jones' type polynomials: Ideas from graph theory and statistical mechanics. ABSTRACT. We describe, in this talk, 1 three methods of constructing different links with the same Jones type invariant. All three can be thought as generalizations of mutation. The first combines the satellite construction with mutation. The second uses the notion of rotant, taken from the graph theory, the third, invented by Jones, transplants into knot theory the idea of the Yang-Baxter equation with the spectral parameter (idea employed by Baxter in the theory of solvable models in statistical mechanics). We extend the Jones result and relate it to Traczyk's work on rotors of links. We also show further applications of the Jones idea, e.g. to 3-string links in the solid torus. We stress the fact that ideas coming from various areas of mathematics (and theoretical physics) has been fruitfully used in knot theory , and vice versa. 0 Introduction Exactly ten years ago, at spring of 1984, Vaughan Jones introduced his (Laurent) polynomial invariant of links, V L (t). He checked immediately that it distinguishes many knots which were not taken apart by the Alexander polynomial, e.g. the right handed trefoil knot from the left handed trefoil knot, and the square knot from the granny knot; Fig. 0.1. 1 This is the detailed version of the talk given at the Banach Center Collo-quium on 24th March 1994 (" W poszukiwaniu nietrywialnego w¸ez la z trywial-nym wielomianem Jonesa: grafy i mechanika statystyczna ").

0 M ay 2 00 4 KNOT POLYNOMIALS AND GENERALIZED MUTATION

The motivation for this work was to construct a nontrivial knot with trivial Jones polynomial. Although that open problem has not yielded, the methods are useful for other problems in the theory of knot polynomials. The subject of the present paper is a generalization of Conway's mutation of knots and links. Instead of flipping a 2-strand tangle, one flips a many-string tangle to produce a gene...

We introduce a polynomial invariant of graphs on surfaces, PG , generalizing the classical Tutte polynomial. Poincaré duality on surfaces gives rise to a natural duality result for PG , analogous to the duality for the Tutte polynomial of planar graphs. This property is important from the perspective of statistical mechanics, where Tutte polynomial is known as the partition function of the Pott...
