Abstract

We evaluate the differences of HOMFLY-PT invariants for pairs of mutant knots colored with representations of SL(N), which are large enough to distinguish between them. These mutant pairs include the pretzel mutants, which require at least the representation, labelled by the Young diagram [2, 4]. We discuss the differential expansion for the differences, which is nontrivial in the case of mutants with a nonzero defect. The most effective technical tool in this case turns out to be the standard Reshetikhin-Turaev approach.
