HOMFLY Polynomial

释义

HOMFLY Polynomial

A 2-variable oriented Knot Polynomial motivated by the Jones Polynomial (Freyd et al. 1985). Its nameis an acronym for the last names of its co-discoverers: Hoste, Ocneanu, Millett, Freyd, Lickorish, and Yetter (Freyd et al. 1985). Independent work related to the HOMFLY polynomial was also carried out by Prztycki and Traczyk (1987). HOMFLYpolynomial is defined by the Skein Relationship

(Kauffman 1991). It is also defined as

in terms of Skein Relationship

(Lickorish and Millett 1988). It can be regarded as a nonhomogeneous Polynomial in two variables or a homogeneous Polynomial in three variables. In three variables the Skein Relationship is written

It is normalized so that . Also, for unlinked unknotted components,

This Polynomial usually detects Chirality but does not detect the distinctEnantiomers of the Knots 09-042, 10-048, 10-071,10-091, 10-104, and 10-125(Jones 1987). The HOMFLY polynomial of an oriented Knot isthe same if the orientation is reversed. It is a generalization of the Jones Polynomial

A split union of two links (i.e., bringing two links together without intertwining them) has HOMFLY polynomial

Also, the composition of two links

so the Polynomial of a Composite Knot factors into Polynomials of its constituent knots(Adams 1994).

Mutants have the same HOMFLY polynomials. In fact, there are infinitely many distinctKnots with the same HOMFLY Polynomial (Kanenobu 1986). Examples include (05-001,10-132), (08-008, 10-129) (08-016, 10-156), and (10-025,10-056) (Jones 1987). Incidentally, these also have the same Jones Polynomial.

M. B. Thistlethwaite has tabulated the HOMFLY polynomial for Knots up to 13 crossings.
