Skein relations for the link invariants coming from exceptional Lie algebras

چکیده
Pulling back the weight systems associated with the exceptional Lie algebras and their standard representations by a modification of the universal VassilievKontsevich invariant yields link invariants; extending them to coloured 3-nets, we derive for each of them a skein relation.

Polynomial Invariants of Links Satisfying Cubic Skein Relations
The aim of this paper is to define two link invariants satisfying cubic skein relations. In the hierarchy of polynomial invariants determined by explicit skein relations they are the next level of complexity after Jones, HOMFLY, Kauffman and Kuperberg’s G2 quantum invariants. Our method consists in the study of Markov traces on a suitable tower of quotients of cubic Hecke algebras extending Jon...
متن کاملSkein relations for Milnor’s μ-invariants
The theory of link-homotopy, introduced by Milnor, is an important part of the knot theory, with Milnor’s μ̄-invariants being the basic set of link-homotopy invariants. Skein relations for knot and link invariants played a crucial role in the recent developments of knot theory. However, while skein relations for Alexander and Jones invariants are known for quite a while, a similar treatment of M...
متن کاملA skein-like multiplication algorithm for unipotent Hecke algebras
LetG be a finite group of Lie type (e.g. GLn(Fq)) and U a maximal unipotent subgroup of G. If ψ is a linear character of U , then the unipotent Hecke algebra isHψ = EndCG(Ind G U (ψ)). Unipotent Hecke algebras have a natural basis coming from double cosets of U in G. This paper describes relations for reducing products of basis elements, and gives a detailed description of the implications in t...
متن کاملTopological Invariants for Lens Spaces and Exceptional Quantum Groups
A pressing problem in the field of ‘quantum topology’ [1][2] is to understand the topological information embodied in the quantum invariants of 3-manifolds[3] [5] constructed in recent years, and to use the information to settle geometric questions. A direct way to tackle the problem is to compute these invariants for 3-manifolds of interest, then try to extract topological information from the...
متن کاملOn Vassiliev Invariants Not Coming from Semisimple Lie Algebras
We prove a refinement of Vogel’s statement that the Vassiliev invariants of knots coming from semisimple Lie algebras do not generate all Vassiliev invariants. This refinement takes into account the second grading on the Vassiliev invariants induced by cabling of knots. As an application we get an amelioration of the actually known lower bounds for the dimensions of the space of Vassiliev invar...
