We generalize the colored Jones polynomial to $4$-valent graphs. This generalization is given as a sequence of invariants in which the first term is a one variable specialization of the Kauffman-Vogel polynomial. We use the invariant we construct to give a sequence of singular braid group representations.
We give an alternate expansion of the colored Jones polynomial of pretzel links which recovers the degree formula in arXiv:1807.00957. As an application, we determine the degrees of the colored Jones polynomials of a new family of 3-tangle pretzel knots.
We show that the family of colored Jones polynomials of the closure of a braid compute weighted sums of abelianized Lefschetz numbers associated with the action of the braid on configuration spaces. The sum is over the number of configuration points. Then we interpret this sum in terms of Poincare--Lefschetz duality intersection pairing between homology classes.
It is known that the colored Jones polynomial of a $+$-adequate link has a well-defined tail consisting of stable coefficients, and that the coefficients of the tail carry geometric and topological information on the $+$-adequate link complement. We show that a power series similar to the tail of the colored Jones polynomial for $+$-adequate links can be defined for $all$ links, and that it is trivial if and only if the link is non $+$-adequate.
In this paper we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the colored Jones polynomials and the Turaev-Viro invariants for the figure eight knot. More precisely, we consider the $M$-th colored Jones polynomials evaluated at $(N+1/2)$-th root of unity with a fixed limiting ratio, $s$, of $M$ and $(N+1/2)$. We find out the asymptotic expansion formula (AEF) of the colored Jones polynomials of the figure eight knot with $s$ close to $1$. Nonetheless, we show that the exponential growth rate of the colored Jones polynomials of the figure eight knot with $s$ close to $1/2$ is strictly less than those…
We study the asymptotic behavior of the $N$-dimensional colored Jones polynomial evaluated at $\exp(ξ/N)$ for a real number $ξ$ greater than a certain constant. We prove that, from the asymptotic behavior, we can extract the $\rm{SL}(2;\mathbb{C})$ Chern--Simons invariant and the Reidemeister torsion twisted by the adjoint action both associated with a representation determined by $ξ$.
The colored $\mathfrak{sl}_{3}$ Jones polynomial $J_{(n_{1}, n_{2})}^{\mathfrak{sl}_{3}}(L;q)$ are given by a link and an $(n_{1}, n_{2})$-irreducible representation of $\mathfrak{sl}_{3}$. In general, it is hard to calculate $J_{(n_{1}, n_{2})}^{\mathfrak{sl}_{3}}(L;q)$ for an oriented link $L$. However, we calculate the one-row $\mathfrak{sl}_{3}$ colored Jones polynomials $J_{(n, 0)}^{\mathfrak{sl}_{3}}(P(α,β,γ);q)$ for three-parameter families of oriented pretzel links $P(α,β,γ)$ by using Kuperberg's linear skein theory by setting $n_{2}=0$. Furthermore, we show the existence of the tails …
We equip a knot $K$ with a set of colored bonds, that is, colored intervals properly embedded into $\mathbb{R}^3 \setminus K$. Such a construction can be viewed as a structure that topologically models a closed protein chain including any type of bridges connecting the backbone residues. We introduce an invariant of such colored bonded knots that respects the HOMFLYPT relation, namely the HOMFLYPT skein module of colored bonded knots. We show that the rigid version of the module is freely generated by colored $Θ$-curves and handcuff links, while the non-rigid version is freely generated by the…

This paper defines versions of the Jones polynomial and Khovanov homology by using several maps from the set of Gauss diagrams to its variant. Through calculation of some examples, this paper also shows that these versions behave differently from the original ones.
