Are there p-adic knot invariants?

arXiv:1509.04928 · doi:10.1134/S0040577916040012

Abstract

We suggest to use the Hall-Littlewood version of Rosso-Jones formula to define the germs of $p$-adic HOMFLY-PT polynomials for torus knots $[m,n]$, which possess at least the $[m,n] \longleftrightarrow [n,m]$ topological invariance. This calls for generalizations to other knot families and is a challenge for several branches of modern theory.
