Am. Math. Soc., New Ser. 12, 103-111 (1985; Zbl 0564.57006)]. This was a little revolution in knot theory. The new invariant was later on generalized to a 2-variable polynomial knot invariant, giving both the Alexander polynomial and the Jones polynomial as specializations [\\textit{P. Freyd} et al., ibid. 12, 239-246 (1985; Zbl 0572.57002)].    In the present article, the author presents his own version of the 2- variable polynomial, based on his original approach through representations of the braid group and Hecke algebras. The article also includes a computation of the 2-variable polynomial for torus knots, special relations for closed 3- and 4-braids, an analysis of values of the Jones (1-variable) polynomial at roots of unity, and some connections between the 2-variable polynomial and the braid index and bridge number of a knot. At the end of the paper, the Jones polynomials of all prime knots of 10 crossings and less are given in a table."},"provenance":{"prov:generatedAtTime":"2026-01-06T15:02:06Z","prov:wasAttributedTo":"MaRDI Knowledge Graph"}}
