Kauffman states, bordered algebras, and a bigraded knot invariant
We define and study a bigraded knot invariant whose Euler characteristic is the Alexander polynomial, closely connected to knot Floer homology. The invariant is the homology of a chain complex whose generators correspond to Kauffman states for a knot diagram. The definition uses decompositions of knot diagrams: to a collection of points on the line, we associate a differential graded algebra; to a partial knot diagram, we associate modules over the algebra. The knot invariant is obtained from these modules by an appropriate tensor product.

Topological quantum field theory with corners based on the Kauffman bracket
The paper contains the construction of a topological quantum field theory with corners that underlies the smooth topological quantum field theory of Lickorish. Among other things, a contraction formula for diagrams is proved, the presence of the skein relation at the level of manifolds with boundary is shown and an explanation for the surgery formula for invariants of closed manifolds is given.

On the skein module of the product of a surface and a circle
Let Sigma be a closed oriented surface of genus g. We show that the Kauffman bracket skein module of Sigma x S^1 over the field of rational functions in A has dimension at least 2^{2g+1}+2g-1.

Skein theory for SU(n)-quantum invariants
For any n>1 we define an isotopy invariant, <Gamma>_n, for a certain set of n-valent ribbon graphs Gamma in R^3, including all framed oriented links. We show that our bracket coincides with the Kauffman bracket for n=2 and with the Kuperberg's bracket for n=3. Furthermore, we prove that for any n, our bracket of a link L is equal, up to normalization, to the SU_n-quantum invariant of L. We show a number of properties of our bracket extending those of the Kauffman's and Kuperberg's brackets, and we relate it to the bracket of Murakami-Ohtsuki-Yamada. Finally, on the basis of the skein relations…

Skein algebras of surfaces
We show that the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of any oriented surface F (possibly with marked points in its boundary) has no zero divisors and that its center is generated by knots parallel to the unmarked components of the boundary of F. Furthermore, we show that skein algebras are Noetherian and Ore. Our proofs rely on certain filtrations of skein algebras induced by pants decompositions of surfaces. We prove some basic algebraic properties of the associated graded algebras along the way.

Cohomology of Oriented Tree Diagram Lie Algebras
Xu introduced a family of root-tree-diagram nilpotent Lie algebras of differential operators, in connection with evolution partial differential equations. We generalized his notion to more general oriented tree diagrams. These algebras are natural analogues of the maximal nilpotent Lie subalgebras of finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras. In this paper, we use Hodge Laplacian to study the cohomology of these Lie algebras. The "total rank conjecture" and "$b_2$-conjecture" for the algebras are proved. Moreover, we find the generating functions of the Betti numbers by means of Young tableaux fo…

Some asymptotics of TQFT via skein theory
For each oriented surface $Σ$ of genus $g$ we study a limit of quantum representations of the mapping class group arising in TQFT derived from the Kauffman bracket. We determine that these representations converge in the Fell topology to the representation of the mapping class group on $\boH(Σ)$, the space of regular functions on the $SL(2,\C)$ representation variety with its hermitian structure coming from the symplectic structure of the SU(2)-representation variety. As a corollary, we give a new proof of the asymptotic faithfulness of quantum representations.

Biquasiles and Dual Graph Diagrams
We introduce \textit{dual graph diagrams} representing oriented knots and links. We use these combinatorial structures to define corresponding algebraic structures we call \textit{biquasiles} whose axioms are motivated by dual graph Reidemeister moves, generalizing the Dehn presentation of the knot group analogously to the way quandles and biquandles generalize the Wirtinger presentation. We use these structures to define invariants of oriented knots and links and provide examples.

Graph Invariants of Vassiliev Type and Application to 4D Quantum Gravity
We consider a special class of Kauffman's graph invariants of rigid vertex isotopy (graph invariants of Vassiliev type). They are given by a functor from a category of colored and oriented graphs embedded into a 3-space to a category of representations of the quasi-triangular ribbon Hopf algebra $U_q(sl(2,\bf C))$. Coefficients in expansions of them with respect to $x$ ($q=e^x$) are known as the Vassiliev invariants of finite type. In the present paper, we construct two types of tangle operators of vertices. One of them corresponds to a Casimir operator insertion at a transverse double point o…

Combinatorial Formulas for Classical Lie Weight Systems on Arrow Diagrams
In 2002 Haviv gave a way of assigning Lie tensors to directed trivalent graphs. Weight systems on oriented chord idagrams modulo 6T can then be constructed from such tensors. In this paper we give explicit combinatorial formulas of weight systems using Manin triples constrcted from classical Lie algebras. We then compose these oriented weight systems with the averaging map to get weight systems on unoriented chord diagrams and show that they are the same as the ones obtained by Bar-Natan in 1991. In the last section we carry out calculations on certain examples.
