Functors Extending the Kauffman Backet
نویسنده
چکیده
In this article we extend evaluations of the Kauffman bracket on regular isotopy classes of knots and links to a variety of functors defined on the category FrT ang of framed tangles. We show that many such functors exist, and that they correspond up to equivalence to bilinear forms on free, finitely-generated modules over commutative rings R.

Recovering Link Data from the B-graph of an Alternating Diagram
In this paper we study ways in which link data may be recovered from the B-graph G of an alternating link diagram D of link L. In particular we find explicitly the coefficients of the three-variable backet (Kauffman square bracket) of D in terms of the Tutte polynomial of G. We go on to show how both polynomials capture the twist number of alternating 2-bridge and 3-braid link diagrams. Finally...

Extending Pirashvili’s work, we characterize small additive categories A such that the inclusion in the category of functors from A to abelian groups of the full subcategory of analytic functors induces an isomorphism between extension groups.

متن کاملNaturality and Induced Representations
We show that induction of covariant representations for C∗-dynamical systems is natural in the sense that it gives a natural transformation between certain crossed-product functors. This involves setting up suitable categories of C∗-algebras and dynamical systems, and extending the usual constructions of crossed products to define the appropriate functors. From this point of view, Green’s Impri...
متن کاملFunctors Induced by Cauchy Extension of C$^ast$-algebras
In this paper, we give three functors $mathfrak{P}$, $[cdot]_K$ and $mathfrak{F}$ on the category of C$^ast$-algebras. The functor $mathfrak{P}$ assigns to each C$^ast$-algebra $mathcal{A}$ a pre-C$^ast$-algebra $mathfrak{P}(mathcal{A})$ with completion $[mathcal{A}]_K$. The functor $[cdot]_K$ assigns to each C$^ast$-algebra $mathcal{A}$ the Cauchy extension $[mathcal{A}]_K$ of $mathcal{A}$ by ...
