Are almost alternating links semi-adequate?
by

An almost alternating link is a non-alternating link with a diagram that can be transformed into an alternating diagram via a single crossing change. A Kauffman state is called adequate if no two arcs in the resolution of the same crossing lie on the same component of the state. A link is semi-adequate if it has a diagram where either the all-A state or the all-B state is adequate. In this talk, we discuss the similarities between the Jones polynomial and Khovanov homology of almost alternating and semi-adequate links.
