Level-rank duality of knot and link invariants

Abstract

A number of results for the level-rank duality of G(N)K G(K)N Chern-Simons theory are summarized, with emphasis on the applications to knot and link invariants. Explicit examples for SU(2)K SU(K)2 illustrate general results. A criterion to distinguish torus knots and links from hyperbolic knots and links, based on tables constructed by Kaul for one and two strand invariants, is presented. Possible symmetries of hyperbolic knot and link invariants are discussed. The level-rank duality of torus knot and link invariants of minimal models is examined
