Domain-specific

• HOMFLY polynomial
  • Variable and sign conventions differ, orientation is constitutive and identical polynomials do not imply equivalent links.
• Knot Polynomial
  • HOMFLY-PT unified and generalized Alexander- and Jones-type behavior through a two-variable skein invariant.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
