On links with cyclotomic Jones polynomials
Abhijit Champanerkar, Ilya Kofman
Abstract
We show that if Ln is any infinite sequence of links with twist number tau(Ln) and with cyclotomic Jones polynomials of increasing span, then lim sup tau(Ln)=infty. This implies that any infinite sequence of prime alternating links with cyclotomic Jones polynomials must have unbounded hyperbolic volume. The main tool is the multivariable twist--bracket polynomial, which generalizes the Kauffman bracket to link diagrams with open twist sites.
