Reveals a bound on the maximum degree of Jones polynomial in positive links, indicating wider implications for link theory.
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.
