Abstract

Recall that we are trying to relate geometric and topological aspects of the knot complement \({S}^{3} \setminus K\) to quantum invariants and diagrammatic properties. So far, we have identified an essential state surface S A , and we have found a polyhedral decomposition of \({M}_{A}\,=\,{S}^{3}\setminus \setminus {S}_{A}\).
