We introduce a new graph polynomial that encodes interesting properties of graphs, for example, the number of matchings, the number of perfect matchings, and, for bipartite graphs, the number of independent sets (#BIS).We analyse the complexity of exact evaluation of the polynomial at rational points and show a dichotomy result: for most points exact evaluation is #P-hard (assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis) and for the rest of the points exact evaluation is trivial.

In analogy with a recursive formula for the HOMFLY-PT polynomial of links given by Jaeger, we give a recursive formula for the graph polynomial introduced by Kauffman and Vogel. We show how this formula extends to the Khovanov–Rozansky graph homology.

A domination polynomial is a type of graph polynomial in which its coefficients represent the number of dominating sets in the graph. There are many researches being done on the domination polynomial of some common types of graphs but not yet for graphs associated to finite groups. Two types of graphs associated to finite groups are the conjugate graph and the conjugacy class graph. A graph of a group G is called a conjugate graph if the vertices are non-central elements of G and two distinct vertices are adjacent if they are conjugate to each other. Meanwhile, a conjugacy class graph of a group G is a graph in which its vertices are the non-central conjugacy classes of G and two distinct vertices are connected if and only if their class cardinalities are not coprime. The conjugate and conjugacy class graph of dihedral groups can be expressed generally as a union of complete graphs on some vertices. In this paper, the domination polynomials are computed for the conjugate and conjugacy class graphs of the dihedral groups.

This paper consists of three parts. First, we generalize the Jaeger Formula to express the Kauffman–Vogel graph polynomial as a state sum of the Murakami–Ohtsuki–Yamada graph polynomial. Then, we demonstrate that reversing the orientation and the color of a MOY graph along a simple circuit does not change the 𝔰𝔩(N) Murakami–Ohtsuki–Yamada polynomial or the 𝔰𝔩(N) homology of this MOY graph. In fact, reversing the orientation and the color of a component of a colored link only changes the 𝔰𝔩(N) homology by an overall grading shift. Finally, as an application of the first two parts, we prove that the 𝔰𝔬(6) Kauffman polynomial is equal to the 2-colored 𝔰𝔩(4) Reshetikhin–Turaev link polynomial, which implies that the 2-colored 𝔰𝔩(4) link homology categorifies the 𝔰𝔬(6) Kauffman polynomial.
