We introduce the notion of "special superpolynomials" by putting q=1 in the formulas for reduced superpolynomials. In this way we obtain a generalization of special HOMFLY polynomials depending on one extra parameter t. Special HOMFLY are known to depend on representation R in especially simple way: as |R|-th power of the fundamental ones. We show that the same dependence persists for our special superpolynomials in the case of symmetric representations, at least for the 2-strand torus and figure-eight knots. For antisymmetric representations the same is true, but for t=1 and arbitrary q. It would be interesting to find an interpolation between these two relations for arbitrary representations, but no superpolynomails are yet available in this case.

  1. Two roles of Alexander in two Kashaev phases

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Alexander polynomials appear in two opposite roles in two Kashaev phases of Chern-Simons theory due to co-existing branches in the quasiclassical limit with non-trivial versus vanishing classical actions.
