Quantum link invariant from the Lie superalgebra D₂\;1,

Abstract: The usual construction of link invariants from quantum groups applied to the superalgebra D_{2 1,alpha} is shown to be trivial. One can modify this construction to get a two variable invariant. Unusually, this invariant is additive with respect to connected sum or disjoint union. This invariant contains an infinity of Vassiliev invariants that are not seen by the quantum invariants coming from Lie algebras (so neither by the colored HOMFLY-PT nor by the colored Kauffman polynomials).


The author constructs quantum link invariants associated to the Lie super algebra \(\mathfrak D_{2\;1,\alpha}\) using the quantum groups method as well as the Kontsevich integral method. For simple Lie algebras the two methods yield the same invariants. For the case of \(\mathfrak D_{2\;1,\alpha}\) a similar claim, conjectured in the paper under review, was shown in [\textit{N. Geer}, Algebr. Geom. Topol. 5, 1111--1139 (2005; Zbl 1118.57014)]. It is shown in the present paper that the quantum link invariant constructed using the quantum group method is trivial. The author therefore modifies it to give a new invariant. This invariant contains an infinity of Vassiliev invariants that are not seen by the quantum invariants coming from Lie algebras (so neither by the colored HOMFLY-PT nor by the colored Kauffman polynomials). Some conjectures concerning the values of this invariant are given.
