The first-order deviation of superpolynomial in an arbitrary representation from the special polynomial
read the original abstract
Like all other knot polynomials, the superpolynomials should be defined in arbitrary representation R of the gauge group in (refined) Chern-Simons theory. However, not a single example is yet known of a superpolynomial beyond symmetric or antisymmetric representations. We consider the expansion of the superpolynomial around the special polynomial in powers of (q-1) and (t-1) and suggest a simple formula for the first-order deviation, which is presumably valid for arbitrary representation. This formula can serve as a crucial lacking test of various formulas for non-trivial superpolynomials, which will appear in the literature in the near future.

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.
