Abstract [en]
We conjecture explicit evolution formulas for Khovanov polynomials, which for any particular knot are Laurent polynomials of complex variables q and T, for pretzel knots of genus g in some regions in the space of winding parameters n0,,ng. Our description is exhaustive for genera 1 and 2. As previously observed Anokhina and Morozov (2018), Dunin-Barkowski et al. (2019), evolution at T not equal -1 is not fully smooth: it switches abruptly at the boundaries between different regions. We reveal that this happens also at the boundary between thin and thick knots, moreover, the thick-knot domain is further stratified. For thin knots the two eigenvalues 1 and lambda =q2T, governing the evolution, are the standard T-deformation of the eigenvalues of the R-matrix 1 and -q2. However, in thick knots' regions extra eigenvalues emerge, and they are powers of the "naive" lambda, namely, they are equal to lambda 2,,lambda g. From point of view of frequencies, i.e. logarithms of eigenvalues, this is frequency doubling (more precisely, frequency multiplication) - a phenomenon typical for non-linear dynamics. Hence, our observation can signal a hidden non-linearity of superpolynomial evolution. To give this newly observed evolution a short name, note that when lambda is pure phase the contributions of lambda 2,,lambda g oscillate "faster" than the one of lambda. Hence, we call this type of evolution "nimble".
