A State Sum for the Total Face Color Polynomial

ABSTRACT The total face color polynomial is based upon the Poincaré polynomials of a family of filtered n‐color homologies. It counts the number of n‐face colorings of ribbon graphs for each positive integer n. As such, it may be seen as a successor of the Penrose polynomial, which at n = 3 counts 3...
