Description
In knot theory, we often ask if two knots or links are different. That is, if I have two tangled up strings can I determine they are different knots? Here, invariants are properties of knots which remain unchanged regardless of what diagram of a knot is used. In this presentation, we explore a specific polynomial invariant: the 2-Variable Kauffman Polynomial and the impact on the polynomial when changes in orientation are made.
