The Yang-Mills Measure in the Skein Module
Charles Frohman, Jianyuan K. Zhong
Let be a complex number with . Let be a compact smooth oriented -manifold, the -skein space of , , is the vector space over $\mathbb{…
A 2-chain can interlock with an open 10-chain
Bin Lu, Joseph O'Rourke, Jianyuan K. Zhong
It is an open problem, posed in \cite{SoCG}, to determine the minimal such that an open flexible -chain can interlock with a flexible 2-chain. It was first established in \c…
The Kauffman Polynomials of 2-bridge Knots
Bin Lu, Jianyuan K. Zhong
The 2-bridge knots are a family of knots with bridge number 2. In this paper, we compute the Kauffman polynomials of 2-bridge knots using the Kauffman skein theory and linear algeb…
A 2-chain can interlock with a k-chain
Julie Glass, Stefan Langerman, Joseph O'Rourke +2
One of the open problems posed in [3] is: what is the minimal number k such that an open, flexible k-chain can interlock with a flexible 2-chain? In this paper, we establish the as…
The Kauffman skein module of the connected sum of 3-manifolds
Jianyuan K. Zhong
Let k be an integral domain containing the invertible elements α, s and \frac{1}{s-s^{-1}}. If M is an oriented 3-manifold, let K(M) denote the Kauffman skein module of M over k. B…
The Kauffman polynomials of generalized Hopf links
Jianyuan K. Zhong, Bin Lu
Following the recent work by Chan, and by Morton and Hadji on the Homflypt polynomials of some generalized Hopf links, we investigate the Kauffman polynomials of generalized Hopf l…
