Generalized polynomial invariants for virtual knots via parity

By extending the quiver state model that calculates the generalized Alexander polynomial defined by Kauffman and Radford, we introduce a new state model via the parity for crossings and define a polynomial called the even generalized Alexander polynomial in the paper. We prove that this polynomial is an invariant of virtual knots and show that there is a specific virtual knot that can be distinguished from the trivial knot by the polynomial. We introduce other generalized polynomial invariants via parity.

Abstract

By extending the quiver state model that calculates the generalized Alexander polynomial defined by Kauffman and Radford, we introduce a new state model via the parity for crossings and define a polynomial called the even generalized Alexander polynomial in the paper. We prove that this polynomial is an invariant of virtual knots and show that there is a specific virtual knot that can be distinguished from the trivial knot by the polynomial. We introduce other generalized polynomial invariants via parity.
