Generalizing connected sums of knots, and the colored Jones polynomial
by
Oliver Dasbach

Coauthors: Mustafa Hajij (LSU)

A natural operation on oriented knots is given by the connected sum. Polynomial knot invariants like the Alexander polynomial or the Jones polynomial behave nicely under this operation. We will discuss other sums for knots, and the implications for the colored Jones polynomial.
