The Yokonuma--Hecke algebra and bt--algebra in Knot theory
Abstract: I will show recent applications of the Yokonuma--Hecke algebra in the construction of new invariants for classical links; these invariants are constructed by using the Jones construction for the Homflypt polynomial (Jones recipe). Also, I will discuss the idea of framization of a knot algebra. Finally, I will show the construction of the so--called bt--algebra which is a knot algebra attached naturally to the Yokonuma--Hecke algebra.
