Skein based invariants and the Kauffman polynomial
This thesis uses Kauffman skein theory to give several new results. We show a correspondence between Kauffman and Homily satellite invariants with coefficients modulo 2, when we take certain patterns from the respective skeins of the annulus. Using stacked tangles we construct a polynomial time algo...
