Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0727.00011.] This article is a survey of various applications of the Jones polynomial and related knot invariants. The first half of the article is devoted to the Tait conjectures on projections of alternating knots and links, and to the proof of the weaker ones of these conjectures (since the publication of this article, W. Menasco and M. Thistlethwaite have announced a proof of the stronger conjectures, using a combination of polynomial invariants and of geometric arguments). The second half of the article discusses relationships between the braid index of a link, its minimum number of Seifert circles, and the size of its 2-variable polynomial. A concluding section is devoted to amphicheirality properties.
