Vassiliev knot invariants and Chern-Simons perturbation theory to all orders
Daniel Altschuler, Laurent Freidel
At any order, the perturbative expansion of the expectation values of Wilson lines in Chern-Simons theory gives certain integral expressions. We show that they all lead to knot inv…

Representations of knot groups and Vassiliev invariants
Daniel Altschuler
We show that the number of homomorphisms from a knot group to a finite group cannot be a Vassiliev invariant, unless it is constant on the set of torus knots. In sev…
