A lower bound for the genus of a knot using the Links-Gould invariant
Ben-Michael Kohli, Guillaume Tahar
The Links-Gould invariant of links is a two-variable generalization of the Alexander-Conway polynomial. Using representation theory of , w…
Detecting Causality with the Links--Gould Polynomial
Vladimir Chernov, Matthew Harper, Ben-Michael Kohli
The conjectures of Low and Natario--Tod, and Penrose's question on Arnold's Problem list ask if causality in spacetimes can be formulated in terms of linking of spheres of light ra…
Skein theory for the Links-Gould polynomial
Stavros Garoufalidis, Matthew Harper, Rinat Kashaev +3
Building further on work of Marin and Wagner, we give a cubic braid-type skein theory of the Links--Gould polynomial invariant of oriented links and prove that it can be used to ev…
The Links-Gould invariant as a classical generalization of the Alexander polynomial?
Ben-Michael Kohli
In this paper we conjecture that the Links-Gould invariant of links, that we know is a generalization of the Alexander-Conway polynomial, shares some of its classical features. In…
