AbstractThe slope conjecture proposed by Garoufalidis asserts that the Jones slopes given by the sequence of degrees of the coloured Jones polynomials are boundary slopes. We verify the slope conjecture for graph knots, i.e. knots whose Gromov volume vanish.

AbstractResults of Kirillov and Reshetikhin on constructing invariants of framed links from the quantum group SU(2)q are adapted to give a simple formula relating the invariants for a satellite link to those of the companion and pattern links used in its construction. The special case of parallel links is treated first. It is shown as a consequence that any SU(2)q-invariant of a link L is a linear combination of Jones polynomials of parallels of L, where the combination is determined explicitly from the representation ring of SU(2). As a simple illustration Yamada's relation between the Jones polynomial of the 2-parallel of L and an evaluation of Kauffman's polynomial for sublinks of L is deduced.

We give formulas for the N-colored Jones polynomials of doubles of knots by using skein theory. As a corollary, we show that if the volume conjecture for untwisted positive (or negative) doubles of knots is true, then the colored Jones polynomial detects the unknot.

Telescoping Method

The purpose of the paper is two-fold: to introduce a multivariable creative telescoping method, and to apply it in a problem of Quantum Topology: namely the computation of the non-commutative A-polynomial of twist knots. Our multivariable creative telescoping method allows us to compute linear recursions for sums of the form [Formula: see text] given a recursion relation for [Formula: see text] and the hypergeometric kernel c(n, k). As an application of our method, we explicitly compute the non-commutative A-polynomial for twist knots with -15 and 15 crossings. The non-commutative A-polynomial of a knot encodes the monic, linear, minimal order q-difference equation satisfied by the sequence of colored Jones polynomials of the knot. Its specialization to q = 1 is conjectured to be the better-known A-polynomial of a knot, which encodes important information about the geometry and topology of the knot complement. Unlike the case of the Jones polynomial, which is easily computable for knots with 50 crossings, the A-polynomial is harder to compute and already unknown for some knots with 12 crossings.

As analogues of the well-known skein relations for the Alexander and the Jones polynomials for classical links, we present three relations that hold among invariants of high dimensional knots differing by "local moves". Two are for the Alexander polynomials and the other is for the Arf-invariants, the inertia group and the bP-subgroup.

It is well known that Jones polynomial (hence, Kauffman bracket polynomial) of links is, in general, hard to compute. By now, Jones polynomials or Kauffman bracket polynomials of many link families have been computed, see [4, 7–11]. In recent years, the computer algebra (Maple) techniques were used to calculate link polynomials for various link families, see [7, 12–14]. In this paper, we try to design a maple program to calculate the explicit expression of the Kauffman bracket polynomial of Montesinos links. We first introduce a family of "ring of tangles" links, which includes Montesinos links as a special subfamily. Then, we provide a closed-form formula of Kauffman bracket polynomial for a "ring of tangles" link in terms of Kauffman bracket polynomials of the numerators and denominators of the tangles building the link. Finally, using this formula and known results on rational links, the Maple program is designed.
