Abstract: In previous work of the first and third authors, we proposed a conjecture that the Kauffman bracket skein module of any knot in $S^3$ carries a natural action of the rank 1 double affine Hecke algebra $S{H}_{q,t_1,t_2}$ depending on 3 parameters $q,t_1,t_2$. As a consequence, for a knot $K$ satisfying this conjecture, we defined a three-variable polynomial invariant $J_n^K(q,t_1,t_2)$ generalizing the classical colored Jones polynomials $J_n^K(q)$. In this paper, we give explicit formulas and provide a quantum group interpretation for the generalized Jones polynomials $J_n^K(q,t_1,t_2)$. Our formulas generalize the so-called cyclotomic expansion of the classical Jones polynomials constructed by K. Habiro: as in the classical case, they imply the integrality of $J_n^K(q,t_1,t_2)$ and, in fact, make sense for an arbitrary knot $K$ independent of whether or not it satisfies our earlier conjecture. When one of the Hecke deformation parameters is set to be 1, we show that the coefficients of the (generalized) cyclotomic expansion of $J_n^K(q,t_1)$ are determined by Macdonald orthogonal polynomials of type $A_1$.
