Jones polynomial

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the mathematical field of knot theory, the Jones polynomial is a knot polynomial discovered by Vaughan Jones in 1984. Specifically, it is an invariant of an oriented knot or link which assigns to each oriented knot or link a Laurent polynomial in the variable $$ t^{1/2} $$ with integer coefficients.
