• The Colored Jones Polynomial and Kontsevich-Zagier Series for Double Twist Knots 

      [OWP-2017-29] Lovejoy, Jeremy; Osburn, Robert (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-10-20)
      Using a result of Takata, we prove a formula for the colored Jones polynomial of the double twist knots $K_{(-m,-p)}$ and $K_{(-m,p)}$ where $m$ and $p$ are positive integers. In the $(-m,-p)$ case, this leads to new ...
    • Rank Deviations for Overpartitions 

      [OWP-2023-11] Lovejoy, Jeremy; Osburn, Robert (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2023-07-12)
      We prove general fomulas for the deviations of two overpartition ranks from the average, namely \begin{equation*} \overline{D}(a, M) := \sum_{n \geq 0} \Bigl( \overline{N}(a, M, n) - \frac{\overline{p}(n)}{M} \Bigr) q^n ...
