چکیده
In this paper we introduce a Jones-type invariant for singular knots, using a Markov trace on the Yokonuma–Hecke algebras Yd,n(u) and the theory of singular braids. The Yokonuma–Hecke algebras have a natural topological interpretation in the context of framed knots. Yet, we show that there is a homomorphism of the singular braid monoid SBn into the algebra Yd,n(u). Surprisingly, the trace does not normalize directly to yield a singular link invariant, so a condition must be imposed on the trace variables. Assuming this condition, the invariant satisfies a skein relation involving singular crossings, which arises from a quadratic relation in the algebra Yd,n(u).

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

Pairs of genus 2 mutant knots can have different Homfly polynomials, for example some 3-string satellites of Conway mutant pairs. We give examples which have different Kauffman 2-variable polynomials, answering a question raised by Dunfield et al in their study of genus 2 mutants. While pairs of genus 2 mutant knots have the same Jones polynomial, given from the Homfly polynomial by setting v =...

We describe the Chow ring with rational coefficients of M0,1(P , d) as the subring of invariants of a ring B(M0,1(P , d);Q), relative to the action of the group of symmetries Sd. We compute B(M0,1(P , d);Q) by following a sequence of intermediate spaces for M0,1(P , d).

Let M be the space of all, including singular, long knots in 3space and for which a fixed projection into the plane is an immersion. Let Σ (1) iness be the union of all singular knots in M with exactly one ordinary double point and such that the two resolutions represent the same (non singular) knot type. We call Σ (1) iness the inessential walls and we call Mess = M\ Σ (1) iness the essential ...
