besides being a distraction, the sidebar is a waste of screen space. On a 13" laptop screen I could comfortably view two pages of this side by side. (this might be another suggestion for the design - make such a layout possible.) On Wednesday, 5 August 2015 16:39:36 UTC+1, kcrisman wrote: > > >

[sage-devel] Methods for evaluating the Jones representations of braids and the Jones polynomials of the closure

2015-08-06 Thread fuglede . sagemath
Hey sage-devel In work with Egsgaard, I ended up needing an implementation of the Jones representations of braid groups and figured it made sense to do it in sage. While interesting in their own right, they also allow for direct calculation of the Jones polynomials of the trace closures of the

Hello Soren, Thanks for sharing the work. But we do have been working on Knot Theory and here is the ticket Ticket : http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/17030, which is currently under review. It would be helpful if you compare the missing features as the work on calculations of Jones polynomia

Hi Amit Thanks for the reference; good to know that stuff is happening in that regard. And yes, everything here is related to the braid group. Even though this would create some overlap, perhaps it could be of use to have both algorithms: using braid group representations, for a fixed number o

Hello Soren, Yeah, we have used the Kauffman's bracket decomposition for the construction of Jones polynomial. I am not sure (may also be not the right person to comment) on whether we could include this in the current ticket. I guess may be we could have it in the groups/braid.py as we hav

Ah, right, with the Alexander polynomial redundancy, I don't need to argue that having two implementations of the Jones polynomial makes sense. And yeah, this particular implementation was written with Braid.py in mind specifically (following the conventions that are already in place in there).

In fact, when matching the return values of Link.jones_polynomial() with the one I posted, I ran into some problems for sufficiently trivial links: sage: B = BraidGroup(2) sage: b = B([]) sage: L = Link(b) sage: L.jones_polynomial() ... IndexError: list index out of range Likewise, it does not a
