Some minimal degree Vassiliev invariants not realizable by the Homfly and Kauffman polynomial

arXiv:math/9807076

Abstract

We collect some examples showing that some Vassiliev invariants are not obtainable from the HOMFLY and Kauffman polynomials in the real sense, namely, that they distinguish knots not distinguishable by the HOMFLY and/or Kauffman polynomial.
