A characterization of Conway-Coxeter friezes of zigzag type by rational links

arXiv:2008.09364

Abstract

The present paper show that Conway-Coxeter friezes of zigzag type are characterized by (unoriented) rational links. As an application of this characterization Jones polynomial can be defined for Conway-Coxeter friezes of zigzag type. This gives a new method for computing the Jones polynomial for oriented rational links.
