Domain-specific

• Knot Polynomial
  • Not the unnormalized Kauffman bracket as an ambient-isotopy invariant. The bracket is invariant under Reidemeister II and III—regular isotopy—but changes under Reidemeister I. A writhe-dependent normalization produces the Jones polynomial, which is an ambient-isotopy invariant.
• Temperley–Lieb Algebra
  • Under a parameter-dependent linear combination of identity and \(e_i\), however, braid generators can be represented in a Temperley–Lieb algebra

    This sourceKauffman's bracket resolves each crossing into A times one planar smoothing plus A^{-1} times the other - the identity and cup-cap diagrams - which is the linear combination that lands the braid generators in the Temperley-Lieb algebra.
