The Skein Relation for the (G_2,V)-Link Invariant

arXiv:math/9806136

Abstract

Pulling back the weight system associated with the exceptional Lie algebra G_2 by a modification of the universal Vassiliev-Kontsevich invariant yields a link invariant; extending it to 3-nets, we derive a recursive algorithm for its evaluation.
