Abstract

The invariants J<inf>K,k</inf> of a framed knot K coloured by the irreducible SU(2)<inf>q</inf>-module of dimension k are studied as a function of k by means of the universal R-matrix. It is shown that when J<inf>K,k</inf> is written as a power series in h with q=e<sup>h</sup>, the coefficient of h<sup>d</sup> is an odd polynomial in k of degree at most 2 d+1. This coefficient is a Vassiliev invariant of K. In the second part of the paper it is shown that as k varies, these invariants span a d-dimensional subspace of the space of all Vassiliev invariants of degree d for framed knots. The analogous questions for unframed knots are also studied. © 1995 Springer-Verlag.
