More specifically, we construct a state sum of Lagrangian intersections in the configuration space in the punctured disc, which leads to a polynomial in three variables. This polynomial recovers the coloured Jones polynomial and the coloured Alexander polynomial through certain specialisation of coefficients.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-10-12T17:39:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M25", "57M27", "20F36", "16T05", "16T25" ], "keywords": [ "quantum invariants", "embedded lagrangians", "configuration space", "state sum", "lagrangian intersections" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
