Abstract

We explain progress in computing the cabled Jones, HOMFLY and Kauffman polynomial. This is applied, first, in combination with some group theoretic considerations, to the tabulation of low-crossing mutants. Then we study the distinction of mutants, with particular regard to the symmetric mutants. We discuss the determination of braid index as another application of our computational methods.
