We compute the vacuum expectation values of torus knot operators in Chern-Simons theory, and we obtain explicit formulae for all classical gauge groups and for arbitrary representations. We reproduce a known formula for the HOMFLY invariants of torus links and we obtain an analogous formula for Kauffman invariants. We also derive a formula for cable knots. We use our results to test a recently proposed conjecture that relates HOMFLY and Kauffman invariants.

  1. Racah matrices for the symmetric representation of the SO(5) group

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Explicit R and Racah matrices are given for the symmetric representation of SO(5) to compute Kauffman polynomials via a generalized Reshetikhin-Turaev construction.

  2. A relation between the HOMFLY-PT and Kauffman polynomials via characters

    hep-th 2026-03 conditional novelty 7.0

    HOMFLY-PT/Kauffman relation via BMW characters proves HZ factorisability for 3-strand knots but fails for 4-strand knots.

  3. Analyzing reduced density matrices in SU(2) Chern-Simons theory

    hep-th 2025-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    For p-party pure states from T_{p,p} torus link complements in SU(2)_k Chern-Simons theory, the characteristic polynomials of (1|p-1)-reduced density matrices are monic polynomials with rational coefficients.
