We prove that the knot Floer homology $widehat{text{HFK}}(mathcal{L}_n)$ `stabilizes' as $n$ goes to infinity. This categorifies a similar stabilization phenomenon of the Alexander polynomial. As an application, we construct an infinite family of prime, positive mutant knots with isomorphic bigraded knot Floer homology groups. Moreover, given any pair of positive mutants, we describe how to derive a corresponding infinite family positive mutants with isomorphic bigraded $widehat{text{HFK}}$ groups, Seifert genera, and concordance invariant $tau$.","PeriodicalId":51331,"journal":{"name":"Quantum Topology","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2016-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84736980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main result of the current article is that, when the surface $S$ is closed, every character $rin mathcal R_{mathrm{SL}_2(mathbb C)}(S)$ occurs as the classical shadow of an irreducible representation of the Kauffman bracket skein algebra.

We present evidence that, as $r$ tends to $infty$, these invariants grow exponentially with growth rates respectively given by the hyperbolic and the complex volume of the manifold. This reveals an asymptotic behavior that is different from that of Witten's Asymptotic Expansion Conjecture, which predicts polynomial growth of these invariants when evaluated at the standard root of unity. This new phenomenon suggests that the Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants may have a geometric interpretation other than the original one via $SU(2)$ Chern-Simons gauge theory.","PeriodicalId":51331,"journal":{"name":"Quantum Topology","volume":"103 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2015-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89281660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
