This paper is a next step in the project of systematic description of colored knot and link invariants started in previous papers. In this paper, we managed to explicitly find the inclusive Racah matrices, i.e. the whole set of mixing matrices in channels $R_1\otimes R_2\otimes R_3\longrightarrow Q$ with all possible $Q$, for $|R|\leq 3$. The calculation is made possible by use of the highest weight method. The result allows one to evaluate and investigate colored polynomials for arbitrary 3-strand knots and links and to check the corresponding eigenvalue conjecture. Explicit answers for Racah matrices and colored polynomials for 3-strand knots up to 10 crossings are available at http://knotebook.org. Using the obtained inclusive Racah matrices, we also calculated the exclusive Racah matrices with the help of trick earlier suggested in the case of knots. This method is proved to be effective and gives the exclusive Racah matrices earlier obtained by another method.

    Explicit R and Racah matrices are given for the symmetric representation of SO(5) to compute Kauffman polynomials via a generalized Reshetikhin-Turaev construction.

  2. Shading A-polynomials via huge representations of $U_q(\mathfrak{su}_N)$

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Authors propose shaded A-polynomials A_a(ℓ_b, m_c) for SU(N) via CG chords from huge representations of U_q(su_N) in the classical limit, with examples for knots 3_1, 4_1, 5_1 in su_3.
