Framed knot contact homology

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2472322



Abstract: We extend knot contact homology to a theory over the ring mathbbZ[lambdapm1,mupm1], with the invariant given topologically and combinatorially. The improved invariant, which is defined for framed knots in S3 and can be generalized to knots in arbitrary manifolds, distinguishes the unknot and can distinguish mutants. It contains the Alexander polynomial and naturally produces a two-variable polynomial knot invariant which is related to the A-polynomial.
