Twist Structure

We consider two approaches to isotopy invariants of oriented links: one from ribbon categories and the other from generalized Yang–Baxter (gYB) operators with appropriate enhancements. The gYB-operators we consider are obtained from so-called gYBE objects following a procedure of Kitaev and Wang. We show that the enhancement of these gYB-operators is canonically related to the twist structure in ribbon categories from which the operators are produced. If a gYB-operator is obtained from a ribbon category, it is reasonable to expect that two approaches would result in the same invariant. We prove that indeed the two link invariants are the same after normalizations. As examples, we study a new family of gYB-operators which is obtained from the ribbon fusion categories SO (N)2, where N is an odd integer. These operators are given by 8 × 8 matrices with the parameter N and the link invariants are specializations of the two-variable Kauffman polynomial invariant F.

Kontsevich’s integral is a knot invariant which contains in itself all knot invariants of finite type, or Vassiliev’s invariants. The value of this integral lies in an algebra A0, spanned by chord diagrams, subject to relations corresponding to the flatness of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation, or the so called infinitesimal pure braid relations [11].

Habiro showed that two knots [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are related by a finite sequence of clasp-pass moves, if and only if they have the same value for Vassiliev invariants of type [Formula: see text]. Tsukamoto showed that, if two knots differ by a clasp-pass move then the values of the Vassiliev invariant [Formula: see text] of degree [Formula: see text] for the two knots differ by [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the Jones polynomial of a knot [Formula: see text]. If two virtual knots are related by clasp-pass moves, then they take the same value for all Vassiliev invariants of degree [Formula: see text]. We extend the Tsukamoto’s result to virtual knots by using a Vassiliev invariant [Formula: see text] of degree [Formula: see text], which is induced from the Kauffman polynomial. We also get a lower bound for the minimal number of clasp-pass moves needed to transform [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text], if two virtual knots [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] can be related by a finite sequence of clasp-pass moves.
