abstract

Character expansion is introduced and explicitly constructed for the (non-colored) HOMFLY polynomials of the simplest knots. Expansion coefficients are not the knot invariants and can depend on the choice of the braid realization. However, the method provides the simplest systematic way to construct HOMFLY polynomials directly in terms of the variable A=q^N: a much better way than the standard approach making use of the skein relations. Moreover, representation theory of the simplest quantum group SU_q(2) is sufficient to get the answers for all braids with m<5 strands. Most important we reveal a hidden hierarchical structure of expansion coefficients, what allows one to express all of them through extremely simple elementary constituents. Generalizations to arbitrary knots and arbitrary representations is straightforward.

Reductions in Khovanov-Rozansky operator formalism

hep-th · 2026-05-02 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Khovanov-Rozansky invariants are recast as a bicomplex of local operators D and conjugations χ^(±), with nilpotency on closed diagrams allowing reductions that simplify the hypercube construction.

The HZ character expansion and a hyperbolic extension of torus knots

math-ph · 2025-05-15 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Authors introduce the HZ character expansion of the HOMFLY-PT polynomial, identify hook diagrams for factorisability, and construct an infinite family of HZ-factorisable hyperbolic knots via full, partial-full, and Jucys-Murphy twists, plus a decomposition conjecture proven for three strands.

Entangling gates for the SU(N) anyons

hep-th · 2026-05-05 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

The paper outlines the generalization of cabling-based entangling gates to SU(N) anyons and identifies differences and new problems that arise.
