A new symmetry of the colored Alexander polynomial

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2662011




Abstract: We present a new conjectural symmetry of the colored Alexander polynomial, that is the specialization of the quantum mathfrakslN invariant widely known as the colored HOMFLY-PT polynomial. We provide arguments in support of the existence of the symmetry by studying the loop expansion and the character expansion of the colored HOMFLY-PT polynomial. We study the constraints this symmetry imposes on the group theoretic structure of the loop expansion and provide solutions to those constraints. The symmetry is a powerful tool for research on polynomial knot invariants and in the end we suggest several possible applications of the symmetry.
