Computing Alexander polynomials for arborescent links
Haimiao Chen
Alexander polynomial was born one century ago, but explicit formulas have been found for only a few families of links. In this paper, we present an efficient method of computing Al…
The -character variety of the magic -manifold
Haimiao Chen
We determine the irreducible -character variety of the 3-chain link exterior which is called the `magic -manifold', and deduce a formula for the twisted…
Torsion in Kauffman bracket skein module of a -strand Montesinos knot exterior
Haimiao Chen
For an oriented -manifold , let denote its Kauffman bracket skein module over . We show that admits torsion…
The -character variety of
Haimiao Chen
The knot is the first non-arborescent hyperbolic knot. In 2020, Paoluzzi and Porti found its -character variety with the aid of a computer, but man…
Kauffman bracket skein module of the -pretzel link exterior
Haimiao Chen
We show that the Kauffman bracket skein module of the -pretzel link exterior over is not finitely generated as a module over $\mathbb{Q}(q^…
