The Kauffman Polynomials of Generalized Hopf Links
The Kauffman Polynomials of Generalized Hopf Links
Following the recent work by Chan [1] and Morton and Hadji [2] on the Homflypt polynomials of some generalized Hopf links, we investigate the polynomials of generalized Hopf links. By studying the Kauffman skein module of the solid torus S 1 × D 2 , we establish a similar skein …
