Alternating sum formulae for the determinant and other link invariants
Oliver T. Dasbach, David Futer, Efstratia Kalfagianni +2
A classical result states that the determinant of an alternating link is equal to the number of spanning trees in a checkerboard graph of an alternating connected projection of the…
The Jones polynomial and graphs on surfaces
Oliver T. Dasbach, David Futer, Efstratia Kalfagianni +2
The Jones polynomial of an alternating link is a certain specialization of the Tutte polynomial of the (planar) checkerboard graph associated to an alternating projection of the li…
On the Head and the Tail of the Colored Jones Polynomial
Oliver T. Dasbach, Xiao-Song Lin
The colored Jones polynomial is a series of one variable Laurent polynomials J(K,n) associated with a knot K in 3-space. We will show that for an alternating knot K the absolute va…
