Invariants for links from classical and affine Yokonuma-Hecke algebras
Invariants for links from classical and affine Yokonuma-Hecke algebras
We present a construction of invariants for links using an isomorphism theorem for affine Yokonuma--Hecke algebras. The isomorphism relates affine Yokonuma--Hecke algebras with usual affine Hecke algebras. We use it to construct a large class of Markov traces on affine Yokonuma--Hecke algebras, and in turn, to produce invariants for links …
