Research reveals a bound on the Jones polynomial degree for positive links, indicating structural limits related to the second Jones coefficient.
We provide a bound on the maximum degree of the Jones polynomial of any positive link with second Jones coefficient equal to ± 1. This builds on the result of our previous work, in which we found such a bound for positive fibered links.
