Dimer Models for Knot Polynomials
نویسنده
چکیده
A dimer model consists of all perfect matchings on a (bipartite) weighted signed graph, where the product of the signed weights of each perfect matching is summed to obtain an invariant. In this paper, the construction of such a graph from a knot diagram is given to obtain the Alexander polynomial. This is further extended to a more complicated graph to obtain the twisted Alexander polynomial, which involved “twisting” by a representation. The space of all representations of a given knot complement into the general linear group of a fixed size can be described by the same graph. This work also produces a bipartite weighted signed graph to obtain the Jones polynomial for the infinite class of pretzel knots as well as for some other constructions. This is a corollary to a stronger result that calculates the activity words for the spanning trees of the Tait graph associated to a pretzel knot diagram, and this has several other applications, as well, including the Tutte polynomial and the spanning tree model of reduced Khovanov homology.

Analysis of large geostatistical data sets, usually, entail the expensive matrix computations. This problem creates challenges in implementing statistical inferences of traditional Bayesian models. In addition,researchers often face with multiple spatial data sets with complex spatial dependence structures that their analysis is difficult. This is a problem for MCMC sampling algorith...
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

Fuzzy Hermite interpolation of 5th degree generalizes Lagrange interpolation by fitting a polynomial to a function f that not only interpolates f at each knot but also interpolates two number of consecutive Generalized Hukuhara derivatives of f at each knot. The provided solution for the 5th degree fuzzy Hermite interpolation problem in this paper is based on cardinal basis functions linear com...
متن کاملA Knot Polynomial Invariant for Analysis of Topology of RNA Stems and Protein Disulfide Bonds.
Knot polynomials have been used to detect and classify knots in biomolecules. Computation of knot polynomials in DNA and protein molecules have revealed the existence of knotted structures, and provided important insight into their topological structures. However, conventional knot polynomials are not well suited to study RNA molecules, as RNA structures are determined by stem regions which are...
متن کاملDetection of knots and a cabling formula for A-polynomials
We say that a given knot J ⊂ S is detected by its knot Floer homology and A-polynomial if whenever a knot K ⊂ S has the same knot Floer homology and the same A-polynomial as J , then K = J . In this paper we show that every torus knot T (p, q) is detected by its knot Floer homology and A-polynomial. We also give a one-parameter family of infinitely many hyperbolic knots in S each of which is de...
