| contents | The HOMFLY-PT and Kauffman polynomials are related to each other for special classes of knots constructed by full twists and Jucys-Murphy twists. The conditions for this relation are articulated in terms of characters of the Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebra. The latter are the coefficients in the expansion of the Kauffman polynomial involving the quantum dimensions of SO(N + 1). This expansion allows to prove the conjectural 1-1 correspondence between the HOMFLY-PT/Kauffman relation and the Harer-Zagier (HZ) factorisability for a large family of 3-strand knots. However, explicit counterexamples with 4-strands negate one side of the conjecture, i.e. the HOMFLY-PT/Kauffman relation only implies HZ factorisability for knots with braid index four or higher. |
