Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Results of Kirillov and Reshetikhin on constructing invariants of framed links from the quantum group SU(2)<jats:sub><jats:italic>q</jats:italic></jats:sub> are adapted to give a simple formula relating the invariants for a satellite link to those of the companion and pattern links used in its construction. The special case of parallel links is treated first. It is shown as a consequence that any SU(2)<jats:sup><jats:italic>q</jats:italic></jats:sup>-invariant of a link <jats:italic>L</jats:italic> is a linear combination of Jones polynomials of parallels of <jats:italic>L</jats:italic>, where the combination is determined explicitly from the representation ring of SU(2). As a simple illustration Yamada's relation between the Jones polynomial of the 2-parallel of <jats:italic>L</jats:italic> and an evaluation of Kauffman's polynomial for sublinks of <jats:italic>L</jats:italic> is deduced.</jats:p>
