We study the effects of certain local moves on Homflyptand Kauffman polynomials. We show that all Homflypt(or Kauffman) polynomials are equal in a certain nontrivial quotient of the Laurent polynomial ring. As a consequence, we discover some new properties of these invariants.

In this paper, we will survey recent results on weakly factorial domains base on the results of [11, 13, 14]. LetD be an integral domain, X be an indeterminate over D, d ∈ D, R = D[X,d/X] be a subring of the Laurent polynomial ring D[X,1/X], Γ be a nonzero torsionless commutative cancellative monoid with quotient group G, and D[Γ] be the semigroup ring of Γ over D. Among other things, we show that R is a weakly factorial domain if and only if D is a weakly factorial GCD‐domain and d = 0, d is a unit of D or d is a prime element of D. We also show that if char(D) = 0 (resp., char(D) = p > 0), then D[Γ] is a weakly factorial domain if and only if D is a weakly factorial GCD domain, Γ is a weakly factorial GCD semigroup, and G is of type (0,0,0,…) (resp., (0,0,0,…) except p).

Special Case

We extend the notion of link colorings with values in an Alexander quandle to link colorings with values in a module [Formula: see text] over the Laurent polynomial ring [Formula: see text]. If [Formula: see text] is a diagram of a link [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] components, then the colorings of [Formula: see text] with values in [Formula: see text] form a [Formula: see text]-module [Formula: see text]. Extending a result of Inoue [Knot quandles and infinite cyclic covering spaces, Kodai Math. J. 33 (2010) 116–122], we show that [Formula: see text] is isomorphic to the module of [Formula: see text]-linear maps from the Alexander module of [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text]. In particular, suppose [Formula: see text] is a field and [Formula: see text] is a homomorphism of rings with unity. Then [Formula: see text] defines a [Formula: see text]-module structure on [Formula: see text], which we denote [Formula: see text]. We show that the dimension of [Formula: see text] as a vector space over [Formula: see text] is determined by the images under [Formula: see text] of the elementary ideals of [Formula: see text]. This result applies in the special case of Fox tricolorings, which correspond to [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Examples show that even in this special case, the higher Alexander polynomials do not suffice to determine [Formula: see text]; this observation corrects erroneous statements of Inoue [Quandle homomorphisms of knot quandles to Alexander quandles, J. Knot Theory Ramifications 10 (2001) 813–821; op. cit.].

Let C be a bounded cochain complex of finitely generated free modules over the Laurent polynomial ring L = R[x, x-1, y, y-1]. The complex C is called R-finitely dominated if it is homotopy equivalent over R to a bounded complex of finitely generated projective R-modules. Our main result characterizes R-finitely dominated complexes in terms of Novikov cohomology: C is R-finitely dominated if and only if eight complexes derived from C are acyclic; these complexes are C ⊗L R〚x, y〛[(xy)-1] and C ⊗L R[x, x-1]〚y〛[y-1], and their variants obtained by swapping x and y, and replacing either indeterminate by its inverse.

AbstractA representation of the central extension of the unitary Lie algebra coordinated with a skew Laurent polynomial ring is constructed using vertex operators over an integral ℤ2–lattice. The irreducible decomposition of the representation is explicitly computed and described. As a by–product, some fundamental representations of affine Kac–Moody Lie algebra of type A(2)n are recovered by the new method.

Let K be a ribbon 2-knot. We show that for any ideal J of the Laurent polynomial ring Λ, if Alexander polynomail of K is trivial, i.e., ΔK(t) = 1, then all colorings of K on Λ/J are trivial.

Laurent Polynomial Ring

Let R be a commutative ring and {σ1,…,σn} a set of commuting automorphisms of R. Let T = be the skew Laurent polynomial ring in n indeterminates over R and let be the Laurent polynomial ring in n central indeterminates over R. There is an isomorphism φ of right R-modules between T and S given by φ(θj) = xj. We will show that the map φ induces a bijection between the prime ideals of T and the Γ-prime ideals of S, where Γ is a certain set of endomorphisms of the ℤ-module S. We can study the structure of the lattice of Γ-prime ideals of the ring S by using commutative algebra, and this allows us to deduce results about the prime ideal structure of the ring T. As an example, if R is a Cohen-Macaulay ℂ-algebra and the action of the σj on R is locally finite-dimensional, we will show that the ring T is catenary.
