Mutants and SU(3)q invariants

Hugh R Morton and Hayley J Ryder

Geometry & Topology Monographs 1 (1998) 365–381

Abstract

Details of quantum knot invariant calculations using a specific SU(3)q–module are given which distinguish the Conway and Kinoshita–Teresaka pair of mutant knots. Features of Kuperberg's skein-theoretic techniques for SU(3)q invariants in the context of mutant knots are also discussed.

Keywords

mutants, Vassiliev invariants, SU(3)q
