Jones polynomial of a mirror
= Jones polynomial of a mirror

Reflecting a <link diagram> interchanges its two bracket smoothings and negates its <writhe of a link diagram>. This replaces $A$ by $A^{-1}$ in the normalized <Kauffman bracket>, hence $t$ by $t^{-1}$. A <knot> whose <Jones polynomial> differs from its reciprocal cannot be an <amphichiral knot>.
