A polynomial invariant for links in lens spaces
arXiv:1002.1543 · doi:10.1142/S0218216512500605
Abstract
We prove the existence of a polynomial invariant that satisfies the HOMFLY skein relation for links in a lens space. In the process we also develop a skein theory of toroidal grid diagrams in a lens space.
