Abstract
We study factorizations of HOMFLY polynomials of certain prime knots and oriented links. We begin with a computer analysis of prime knots with at most 12 crossings, finding 17 non-trivial factorizations. Next, we give an irreducibility criterion for HOMFLY polynomials of oriented links associated to 2-connected plane graphs.
