Knot invariants and their Harer-Zagier transform (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The Harer-Zagier (HZ) transform is a discrete Laplace transform that can be applied to knot polynomials, mapping them into a rational function of two variables $\lambda$ and $q$. The HZ transform of the HOMFLY-PT polynomial has a simple form, as it can be written as a sum of factorised terms. For some special families of knots, it can be fully factorised and it is completely determined by a set of exponents. There is an interesting relation between such exponents and Khovanov homology. Moreover, we conjecture that there is an 1-1 correspondence with such factorisability and a relation between the HOMFLY-PT and Kauffman polynomials. Furthermore, we suggest that by fixing the variable $\lambda= q^n$ for some "magical" exponent $n$, the HZ transform of any knot can obtain a factorised form in terms of cyclotomic polynomials. Finally, the zeros of the HZ transform show an interesting behaviour, which shall be discussed.
