We give infinitely many examples of infinitely many knots in S3 with the same recently discovered two-variable and Jones polynomials, but distinct Alexander module structures, which are hyperbolic, fibered, ribbon, of genus 2, and 3-bridge. Two knots K1 and K2 in S3 belong to the same isotopy type if there exists an orientation preserving homeomorphism of S3 which maps K1 onto K2. We denote it by K1 = K2. In 1984, V. Jones [9] discovered a very powerful polynomial invariant of the isotopy type of an oriented knot or link. Subsequently, the Jones polynomial was generalized to the two-variable polynomial invariant simultaneously and independently by Ocneanu [13], Lickorish and Millett [12], Hoste [8], and Freyd and Yetter. In this note we follow Lickorish and Millett. For a link L, the polynomial L (1, m) is defined recursively by the following two conditions: (I) If L?, L_ and Lo are three links with completely identical projections except at one crossing, where they are related as shown in Figure 1, then lL+(l, m) + 1-'L_(l, m) + mLo(l, m) = 0. (II) If K is a trivial knot, then K(l, m) = 1.
