AbstractIn [2] it was conjectured that the coloured Jones function of a framed knot K, or equivalently the Jones polynomials of all parallels of K, is sufficient to determine the Alexander polynomial of K. An explicit formula was proposed in terms of the power series expansion , where JK, k(h) is the SU(2)q quantum invariant of K when coloured by the irreducible module of dimension k, and q = eh is the quantum group parameter.In this paper I show that the explicit formula does give the Alexander polynomial when K is any torus knot.

We study the asymptotic behaviors of the colored Jones polynomials of torus knots. Contrary to the works by R. Kashaev, O. Tirkkonen, Y. Yokota, and the author, they do not seem to give the volumes or the Chern–Simons invariants of the three-manifolds obtained by Dehn surgeries. On the other hand it is proved that in some cases the limits give the inverse of the Alexander polynomial.

The Family

A 1-bridge torus knot in a 3-manifold of genus ≤ 1 is a knot drawn on a Heegaard torus with one bridge. We give two types of normal forms to parameterize the family of 1-bridge torus knots that are similar to the Schubert's normal form and the Conway's normal form for 2-bridge knots. For a given Schubert's normal form we give algorithms to determine the number of components and to compute the fundamental group of the complement when the normal form determines a knot. We also give a description of the double branched cover of an ambient 3-manifold branched along a 1-bridge torus knot by using its Conway's normal form and obtain an explicit formula for the first homology of the double cover.

Heegaard Surface

A double-torus knot is knot embedded in a genus two Heegaard surface [Formula: see text] in S3. After giving a notation for these knots, we consider double-torus knots L such that [Formula: see text] is not connected, and give a criterion for such knots to be non-trivial. Various new types of non-trivial knots with trivial Alexander polynomial are found.

Braid Index

A twisted torus knot [Formula: see text] is a torus knot [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] adjacent strands twisted fully [Formula: see text] times. In this paper, we determine the braid index of the knot [Formula: see text] when the parameters [Formula: see text] satisfy [Formula: see text]. If the last parameter [Formula: see text] additionally satisfies [Formula: see text], then we also determine the parameters [Formula: see text] for which [Formula: see text] is a torus knot.

The Relationship

The subject is a localized disturbance in the form of a torus knot of an otherwise featureless continuum. The knot's topologically quantized, self-sustaining nature emerges in an elementary, straightforward way on the basis of a simple geometric model, one that constrains the differential geometric basis it otherwise shares with General Relativity (GR). Two approaches are employed to generate the knot's solitonic nature, one emphasizing basic differential geometry and the other based on a Lagrangian. The relationship to GR is also examined, especially in terms of the formulation of an energy density for the Lagrangian. The emergent knot formalism is used to derive estimates of some measurable quantities for a certain elementary particle model documented in previous publications. Also emerging is the compatibility of the torus knot formalism and, by extension, that of the cited particle model, with general relativity as well as with the Dirac theoretic notion of antiparticles.
