This paper bounds the computational cost of computing the Kauffman bracket of a link in terms of the crossing number of that link. Specifically, it is shown that the image of a tangle with $g$ boundary points and $n$ crossings in the Kauffman bracket skein module is a linear combination of $O(2^g)$ basis elements, with each coefficient a polynomial with at most $n$ nonzero terms, each with integer coefficients, and that the link can be built one crossing at a time as a sequence of tangles with maximum number of boundary points bounded by $Csqrt{n}$ for some $C.$ From this it follows that the computation of the Kauffman bracket of the link takes time and memory a polynomial in $n$ times $2^{Csqrt{n}}.$
Given a compact oriented 3-manifold M in S^3 with boundary, an (M,2n)-tangle T is a 1-manifold with 2n boundary components properly embedded in M. We say that T embeds in a link L in S^3 if T can be completed to L by a 1-manifold with 2n boundary com
This paper refines previous work by the first author. We study the question of which links in the 3-sphere can be obtained as closures of a given 1-manifold in an unknotted solid torus in the 3-sphere (or genus-1 tangle) by adjoining another 1-manifo
Biquandle brackets define invariants of classical and virtual knots and links using skein invariants of biquandle-colored knots and links. Biquandle coloring quivers categorify the biquandle counting invariant in the sense of defining quiver-valued e
The m,n Turks Head Knot, THK(m,n), is an alternating (m,n) torus knot. We prove the Harary-Kauffman conjecture for all THK(m,n) except for the case where m geq 5 is odd and n geq 3 is relatively prime to m. We also give evidence in support of the con
We define new differential graded algebras A(n,k,S) in the framework of Lipshitz-Ozsvath-Thurstons and Zarevs strands algebras from bordered Floer homology. The algebras A(n,k,S) are meant to be strands models for Ozsvath-Szabos algebras B(n,k,S); in
