Quantum link invariant from the Lie superalgebra D(2,1,alpha)

The usual construction of link invariants from quantum groups applied to the superalgebra D_{2 1,alpha} is shown to be trivial. One can modify this construction to get a two variable invariant. Unusually, this invariant is additive with respect to connected sum or disjoint union. This invariant contains an infinity of Vassiliev invariants that are not seen by the quantum invariants coming from Lie algebras (so neither by the colored HOMFLY-PT nor by the colored Kauffman polynomials).

On the Colored HOMFLY-PT, Multivariable and Kashaev Link Invariants

We study various specializations of the colored HOMFLY-PT polynomial. These specializations are used to show that the multivariable link invariants arising from a complex family of sl(m|n) super-modules previously defined by the authors contains both the multivariable Alexander polynomial and Kashaev's invariants. We conjecture these multivariable link invariants also specialize to the generalized multivariable Alexander invariants defined by Y. Akutsu, T. Deguchi, and T. Ohtsuki.

An invariant supertrace for the category of representations of Lie superalgebras

In this paper we give a re-normalization of the supertrace on the category of representations of Lie superalgebras of type I, by a kind of modified superdimension. The genuine superdimensions and supertraces are generically zero. However, these modified superdimensions are non-zero and lead to a kind of supertrace which is non-trivial and invariant. As an application we show that this new supertrace gives rise to a non-zero bilinear form on a space of invariant tensors of a Lie superalgebra of type I. The results of this paper are completely classical results in the theory of Lie superalgebras but surprisingly we can not prove them without using quantum algebra and low-dimensional topology.

Multivariable link invariants arising from Lie superalgebras of type I

This paper generalize [7](math.GT/0601291): We construct new links invariants from g, a type I basic classical Lie superalgebra. The construction uses the existence of an unexpected replacement of the vanishing quantum dimension of typical module. Using this, we get a multivariable link invariant associated to any one parameter family of irreducible g-modules.

Multivariable link invariants arising from sl(2|1) and the Alexander polynomial

In this paper we construct a multivariable link invariant arising from the quantum group associated to the special linear Lie superalgebra sl(2|1). The usual quantum group invariant of links associated to (generic) representations of sl(2|1) is trivial. However, we modify this construction and define a nontrivial link invariant. This new invariant can be thought of as a multivariable version of the Links-Gould invariant. We also show that after a variable reduction our invariant specializes to the Conway potential function, which is a version of the multivariable Alexander polynomial.

Caracteres sur l'algebre de diagrammes trivalents Lambda

The theory of Vassiliev invariants deals with many modules of diagrams on which the algebra Lambda defined by Pierre Vogel acts. By specifying a quadratic simple Lie superalgebra, one obtains a character on Lambda. We show the coherence of these characters by building a map of graded algebras beetwen Lambda and a quotient of a ring of polynomials in three variables; all the characters induced by simple Lie superalgebras factor through this map. In particular, we show that the characters for the Lie superalgebra f(4) with dimension 40 and for sl(3) are the same. Resume: De nombreux modules de diagrammes sont utilises dans la theorie des invariants de Vassiliev. Pierre Vogel a definit une algebre Lambda qui agit sur ces espaces. Les superalgebres de Lie simples quadratiques fournissent des caracteres sur Lambda. On montre leur coherence en construisant un morphisme d'algebre graduee, entre Lambda et un quotient d'un anneau de polyneme en trois variables, qui factorise tous ces caracteres. En particulier, on montre que le caractere associe a la superalgebre de Lie f(4) de dimension 40 coincide avec celui associe a sl(3).

Invariant d'entrelacs associé à la représentation des spineurs de so(7)

Pulling back the weight system associated with the spinor representation of the Lie algebra so(7) by the universal Vassiliev-Kontsevich invariant yields a numerical link invariant with values in formal power series. Computing some skein relations satisfied by this invariant, I derive a recursive algorithm for its evaluation. The values of this invariant belong to the ring Z[W,W^{-1}] of Laurent polynomials in one variable.
