abstract
Explicit answer is given for the HOMFLY polynomial of the figure eight knot $4_1$ in arbitrary symmetric representation R=[p]. It generalizes the old answers for p=1 and 2 and the recently derived results for p=3,4, which are fully consistent with the Ooguri-Vafa conjecture. The answer can be considered as a quantization of the \sigma_R = \sigma_{[1]}^{|R|} identity for the "special" polynomials (they define the leading asymptotics of HOMFLY at q=1), and arises in a form, convenient for comparison with the representation of the Jones polynomials as sums of dilogarithm ratios. In particular, we construct a difference equation ("non-commutative A-polynomial") in the representation variable p. Simple symmetry transformation provides also a formula for arbitrary antisymmetric (fundamental) representation R=[1^p], which also passes some obvious checks. Also straightforward is a deformation from HOMFLY to superpolynomials. Further generalizations seem possible to arbitrary Young diagrams R, but these expressions are harder to test because of the lack of alternative results, even partial.

Torus knots in adjoint representation and Vogel's universality
Universal adjoint invariants for T[4,n] torus knots are constructed via Vogel's universality, completing the T[4,n] case after previous T[2,n] and T[3,n] results.

Bipartite expansion beyond biparticity
The authors construct positive decompositions of fundamental HOMFLY polynomials in variables φ, φ̄, D for arbitrary knots, not just bipartite ones, and give a criterion to detect when such a decomposition conceals a b...

Two roles of Alexander in two Kashaev phases
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.
