A globalisation of Jones and Alexander polynomials constructed from a graded intersection of two Lagrangians in a configuration space (2205.07842v2)

Abstract: We consider two Laurent polynomials in two variables associated to a braid, given by {\em graded intersections} between {\em fixed Lagrangians in configuration spaces}. In order to get link invariants, we notice that we have to quotient by a quadratic relation. Then we prove by topological tools that this relation is sufficient and the first graded intersection gives an invariant which is the Jones polynomial. This shows a {\em topological model for the Jones polynomial} and a direct {\em topological proof}\hspace{0.4mm} that it is a well-defined invariant. The other intersection model in the quotient turns out to be an invariant globalising the Jones and Alexander polynomials. This globalisation in the quotient ring is given by a {\em specific interpolation between the Alexander and Jones polynomials}.
