Abstract

"Genuinely computable" means we have computed it for random knots with over 300 crossings. "Strongest" means it separates prime knots with up to 15 crossings better than the less-computable HOMFLY-PT and Khovanov homology taken together. And hey, it's also meaningful and fun.  

Continues Rozansky, Garoufalidis, Kricker, and Ohtsuki, joint with van der Veen.
