Top coefficients of ADO invariants are Murasugi-sum multiplicative
Abstract
The Akutsu-Deguchi-Ohtsuki (ADO) invariants of links are a non-semisimple version of the colored Jones polynomials. We prove that the top coefficients of the ADO invariants of links in S3 are multiplicative under Murasugi-sum along connected minimal genus Seifert surfaces. More generally, for any simple complex Lie algebra g of type ADE and any r≥ 3, we prove that the top coefficient of the r-th g-ADO invariant is multiplicative under Murasugi-sum. As a corollary, we get that all the g-ADO invariants of fibred links are q-monic, generalizing a previous result of the authors for sl2. Moreover, whenever uq(g) is ribbon, we find an expression for the top coefficient of the r-th g-ADO invariant in terms of Hopf algebra integrals of universal uq(g)-invariants of bottom tangles.
