Extension of Rudolph's mod-2 relation to decorated Kauffman satellite invariants
Extension of Rudolph's mod-2 relation to decorated Kauffman satellite invariants
Let be a framed unoriented link with components , and let and denote the corresponding Kauffman and Homfly annular decorations for partitions . The parameter satisfies unless the relevant partition is self-conjugate. Extension of Rudolph's relation. Decorate each component of by . The Kauffman polynomial of this decorated link, with replaced by and the coefficients reduced modulo , should equal the modulo- reduction of the Homfly polynomial of when each is decorated by . This would extend Rudolph's known case to general Kauffman satellite invariants; the available evidence is limited, so the assertion remains open.
