The main goal is to find the Homfly polynomial of a link formed by decorating each component of the Hopf link with the closure of a directly oriented tangle. Such decorations are spanned in the Homfly skein of the annulus by elements Q_lambda, depending on partitions lambda. We show how to find the 2-variable Homfly invariant <lambda,mu> of the Hopf link arising from decorations Q_lambda and Q_mu in terms of the Schur symmetric function s_mu of an explicit power series depending on lambda. We show also that the quantum invariant of the Hopf link coloured by irreducible sl(N)_q modules V_lambda and V_mu, which is a 1-variable specialisation of <lambda,mu>, can be expressed in terms of an N x N minor of the Vandermonde matrix (q^{ij}).
Many polynomial invariants of knots and links, including the Jones and HOMFLY-PT polynomials, are widely used in practice but #P-hard to compute. It was shown by Makowsky in 2001 that computing the Jones polynomial is fixed-parameter tractable in the
For a positive braid link, a link represented as a closed positive braids, we determine the first few coefficients of its HOMFLY polynomial in terms of geometric invariants such as, the maximum euler characteristics, the number of split factors, and
The purpose of this paper is to give a new basis for examining the relationships of the Affine Index Polynomial and the Sawollek Polynomial. Blake Mellor has written a pioneering paper showing how the Affine Index Polynomial may be extracted from the
The Teichmueller polynomial of a fibered 3-manifold plays a useful role in the construction of mapping class having small stretch factor. We provide an algorithm that computes this polynomial of the fibered face associated to a pseudo-Anosov mapping
This paper gives a connection between well chosen reductions of the Links-Gould invariants of oriented links and powers of the Alexander-Conway polynomial. We prove these formulas by showing the representations of the braid groups we derive the speci
