Extending Knot Polynomials of Braided Hopf Algebras to Links
Stavros Garoufalidis, Matthew Harper, Ben-Michael Kohli +2
Recently, a plethora of multivariable knot polynomials were introduced by Kashaev and one of the authors, by applying the Reshetikhin-Turaev functor to rigid -matrices that come…

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…

On some log-concavity properties of the Alexander-Conway and Links-Gould invariants
Matthew Harper, Ben-Michael Kohli, Jiebo Song +1
The Links--Gould invariant of a link is a two-variable quantum generalization of the Alexander--Conway polynomial and has been shown to sh…
