The AJ conjecture for cable knots
by
Anh T Tran
University of Texas at Dallas

The AJ conjecture relates the A-polynomial and the colored Jones polynomial of a knot in the 3-sphere. In this talk, we will discuss the conjecture for cable knots. Using skein theory, we will show that the AJ

conjecture holds true for most (r,2)-cables of some classes of two-bridge knots and pretzel knots.
