A One Variable Generalization of the Kauffman-vogel Polynomial
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract. The Kauffman-Vogel polynomial is an invariant of unoriented four-valent graphs embedded in three dimensional space. In this article we give a one variable generalization of this invariant. This generalization is given as a sequence of invariants in which the first term is the Kauffman-Vogel polynomial. We use the invariant we construct to give a sequence of singular braid group representations.

The colored Jones polynomial of singular knots
We generalize the colored Jones polynomial to 4-valent graphs. This generalization is given as a sequence of invariants in which the first term is a one variable specialization of the Kauffman–Vogel polynomial. We use the invariant we construct to give a sequence of singular braid group representations.
متن کاملInvariants of Graphs in Three-Space
By associating a collection of knots and links to a graph in threedimensional space, we obtain computable invariants of the embedding type of the graph. Two types of isotopy are considered: topological and rigid-vertex isotopy. Rigid-vertex graphs are a category mixing topological flexibility with mechanical rigidity. Both categories constitute steps toward models for chemical and biological ne...
متن کاملQuantum Algorithms for the Jones Polynomial
This paper gives a generalization of the AJL algorithm for quantum computation of the Jones polynomial to continuous ranges of values on the unit circle for the Jones parameter. We show that the Kauffman-Lomonaco 3-strand algorithm for the Jones polynomial is a special case of this generalization of the AJL algorithm.
متن کاملSkein Invariants of Links and Their State Sum Models
We present the new skein invariants of classical links, H[H], K[K] and D[D], based on the invariants of links, H, K and D, denoting the regular isotopy version of the Homflypt polynomial, the Kauffman polynomial and the Dubrovnik polynomial. The invariants are obtained by abstracting the skein relation of the corresponding invariant and making a new skein algorithm comprising two computational ...
متن کاملAn Intrinsic Approach to Polynomial Invariants for Links in 3-manifolds
We study framed links in irreducible Z-homology 3-spheres and we provide sufficient conditions under which an invariant defined on singular links with one transverse double point gives rise to an invariant of framed links. Our results also hold for framed links in atoroidal, Q-homology 3-spheres. As an application we obtain a 2-variable formal power series invariant for framed links that satisf...
