abstract

We compute the vacuum expectation values of torus knot operators in Chern-Simons theory, and we obtain explicit formulae for all classical gauge groups and for arbitrary representations. We reproduce a known formula for the HOMFLY invariants of torus links and we obtain an analogous formula for Kauffman invariants. We also derive a formula for cable knots. We use our results to test a recently proposed conjecture that relates HOMFLY and Kauffman invariants.

Analyzing reduced density matrices in SU(2) Chern-Simons theory

hep-th · 2025-04-14 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

For p-party pure states from T_{p,p} torus link complements in SU(2)_k Chern-Simons theory, the characteristic polynomials of (1|p-1)-reduced density matrices are monic polynomials with rational coefficients.
