Drinfeld doubles of the $n$-rank Taft algebras and a generalization of the Jones polynomial

Ge Feng, Naihong Hu and Yunnan Li

Vol. 312 (2021), No. 2, 421–456
Abstract

We describe the Drinfeld double structure of the n-rank Taft algebra and all of its simple modules, and then endow its R-matrices with an application to knot invariants. The knot invariant we get is a generalization of the Jones polynomial, in particular, it coincides with the Jones polynomial in the rank 1 case, while in the rank 2 case, it is the one-parameter specialization of the two-parameter unframed Dubrovnik polynomial, and in higher rank case it is the composite (n-power) of the Jones polynomial.
