We give a new definition of the Jones polynomial by means of the intersection number of loaded (or twisted) cycles associated with a Selberg type integral. Our definition is naturally formulated in the framework of the twisted homology theory, which is developd by Aomoto to study the special functions of hypergeometric type. The naturality of the definition leads to evaluate the Jones polynomials in several cases: well-known results in the case of two-bridge link, a formula for (3, s)-torus and that for the Prezel with 3 parameters. Our definition is motivated by the work of Bigelow.

Abstract In this paper, we introduce the category and the homotopy category of edge-colored digraphs and construct the functorial homology theory on the foundation of the path homology theory provided by Grigoryan, Muranov, and Shing-Tung Yau. We give the construction of the path homology theory for edge-colored graphs that follows immediately from the consideration of natural functor from the category of graphs to the subcategory of symmetrical digraphs. We describe the natural filtration of path homology groups of any digraph equipped with edge coloring, provide the definition of the corresponding spectral sequence, and obtain commutative diagrams and braids of exact sequences.

AbstractA specific type of convex functions is discussed. By examining this, we investigate new Hermite–Hadamard type integral inequalities for the Riemann–Liouville fractional operators involving the generalized incomplete gamma functions. Finally, we expose some examples of special functions to support the usefulness and effectiveness of our results.

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.

We investigate a generalization to non-Witt stratified spaces of the intersection homology theory of Goresky–MacPherson. The second-named author has described the self-dual sheaves compatible with intersection homology, and the other authors have described a generalization of Cheeger's L2 de Rham cohomology. In this paper we first extend both of these cohomology theories by describing all sheaf complexes in the derived category of constructible sheaves that are compatible with middle perversity intersection cohomology, though not necessarily self-dual. Our main result is that this refined intersection cohomology theory coincides with the analytic de Rham theory on Thom–Mather stratified spaces. The word "refined" is motivated by the fact that the definition of this cohomology theory depends on the choice of an additional structure (mezzo-perversity) which is automatically zero in the case of a Witt space.

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.

By using conformal mappings, it is possible to express the solution of certain boundary-value problems for the Laplace equation in terms of a single integral involving the given boundary data. We show that such explicit formulae can be used to obtain novel identity for special functions. A convenient tool for deriving this type of identity is the so-called global relation , which has appeared recently in a wide range of boundary-value problems. As a concrete application, we analyse the Neumann boundary-value problem for the Laplace equation in the exterior of the Hankel contour, which appears in the definition of both the gamma and the Riemann zeta functions. By using the explicit solution of this problem, we derive a number of novel identities involving the hypergeometric function. Also, we point out an interesting connection between the solution of the above Neumann boundary-value problem for a particular set of Neumann data and the Riemann hypothesis.

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.
