Abstract
In an attempt to generalise knot matrix models for non-torus knots, which currently remains an open problem, we derived expressions for the Harer–Zagier transform—a discrete Laplace transform—of the HOMFLY–PT polynomial for some infinite families of twisted hyperbolic knots. Among them, we found a family of pretzel knots for which, like for torus knots, the transform has a fully factorised form, while for the remaining families considered it consists of sums of factorised terms. Their zero loci show a remarkable structure, which mostly lies on the unit circle and deviates from it only in pairs.
