Jones polynomial: Difference between revisions

In the mathematical field of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knot_theory knot theory], the Jones polynomial is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knot_polynomial knot polynomial] discovered by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaughan_Jones Vaughan Jones] in 1984. Specifically, it is an invariant of an oriented knot or link which assigns to each oriented knot or link a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurent_polynomial Laurent polynomial] in the variable $$ t^{1/2} $$ with integer coefficients.
