Special Case

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.

Colored Jones Polynomials

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.

Minimum Number

The Δ-unknotting number for a knot is defined to be the minimum number of Δ-unknotting operations which deform the knot into the trivial knot. We determine the Δ-unknotting numbers for torus knots, positive pretzel knots, and positive closed 3-braids.

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.

CASSON-GORDON INVARIANTS OF GENUS ONE KNOTS AND CONCORDANCE TO REVERSES

Genus One

For genus one knots the Casson-Gordon invariant τ is expressed in terms of the classical signatures, generalizing an earlier result of P. Gilmer. As an application it is shown that the pretzel knots K(3, –5, 7) and K(3, –5, 17) are not concordant to their reverses.

LOCAL MOVE IDENTITIES FOR THE ALEXANDER POLYNOMIALS OF HIGH-DIMENSIONAL KNOTS AND INERTIA GROUPS

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.
