A relation between the HOMFLY-PT and Kauffman polynomials via characters

A bstract The HOMFLY-PT and Kauffman polynomials are related to each other for special classes of knots constructed by full twists and Jucys-Murphy twists. The conditions for this relation are articulated in terms of characters of the Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebra. The latter are...
