In his famous paper "Hecke algebra representations of braid groups and link polynomials," (Annals 1987), Jones uses a compatible family of traces $tr_z$ on the Iwahori-Hecke algebras $H(q,n)$ of type $...

Looking at the link invariants of $\operatorname{SU}(2)$ Chern-Simons theory, if we take the coloured Jones polynomial of a knot K, say $J_N^K$ at fundamental representation $N=2$, then we get the ...

In the paper by Masbaum, it was shown that the colored Jones polynomials for a twist knot $K_p$ can be written as \begin{eqnarray} J_{n}(K_p;q)&=&\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} {\cal C}_{K_p}(k) \...

this is my first post here. I've been studying some Knot Theory and I came to a question concerning invariants. We know that the Jones polynomial is related to the RT-invariant associated to the two-...
