Abstract

In this work we introduce a new invariant of virtual knots. We show that this transcendental function invariant generalizes several polynomial invariants of virtual knots, such as the writhe polynomial [3], the affine index polynomial [19] and the zero polynomial [14]. Several applications of this new invariant are discussed.
