We consider braids with repeating patterns inside arbitrary knots which provides a multi-parametric family of knots, depending on the "evolution" parameter, which controls the number of repetitions. The dependence of knot (super)polynomials on such evolution parameters is very easy to find. We apply this evolution method to study of the families of knots and links which include the cases with just two parallel and anti-parallel strands in the braid, like the ordinary twist and 2-strand torus knots/links and counter-oriented 2-strand links. When the answers were available before, they are immediately reproduced, and an essentially new example is added of the "double braid", which is a combination of parallel and anti-parallel 2-strand braids. This study helps us to reveal with the full clarity and partly investigate a mysterious hierarchical structure of the colored HOMFLY polynomials, at least, in (anti)symmetric representations, which extends the original observation for the figure-eight knot to many (presumably all) knots. We demonstrate that this structure is typically respected by the t-deformation to the superpolynomials.

  1. Torus knots in adjoint representation and Vogel's universality

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Universal adjoint invariants for T[4,n] torus knots are constructed via Vogel's universality, completing the T[4,n] case after previous T[2,n] and T[3,n] results.

  2. Macdonald deformation of Vogel's universality and link hyperpolynomials

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For the adjoint square in ADE Lie algebras, products of Macdonald dimensions with deformed Littlewood-Richardson coefficients are universal, yielding universal formulas for T[2,2n] link hyperpolynomials.

  3. A TQFT-based Platform for Efficient Computation of Knot Invariants

    math.GT 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A web platform evaluates Chern–Simons invariants of arborescent knots from Feynman ribbon diagrams and claims two-vertex FRDs classify all FRD-like knots through 10 crossings.

  4. Two roles of Alexander in two Kashaev phases

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Alexander polynomials appear in two opposite roles in two Kashaev phases of Chern-Simons theory due to co-existing branches in the quasiclassical limit with non-trivial versus vanishing classical actions.

  5. More on Kashaev limits of the quantum $A$-polynomials

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    In the Kashaev limit the non-homogeneous quantum A-polynomial splits into phases tied to zero action and deformed hyperbolic volume, with a byproduct expectation that the classical A-polynomial at L=1 is proportional ...
