Direct proof of one-hook scaling property for Alexander polynomial from Reshetikhin-Turaev formalism

Abstract

We prove that normalized colored Alexander polynomial (the $A\to 1$ limit of colored HOMFLY-PT polynomial) evaluated for one-hook (L-shape) representation R possesses scaling property: it is equal to the fundamental Alexander polynomial with the substitution $q\to q^{|R|}$. The proof is simple and direct use of Reshetikhin-Turaev formalism to get all required R-matrices.
