Some more states models for link invariants

Andrew Solomon Lipson

Vol. 152 (1992), No. 2, 337–346
Abstract

In this paper I present two new states models for a specialization of the Kauffman link invariant F(a,z) and show that these models occur naturally together. The particular specialization we are concerned with has been investigated by Lickorish and Millett and identified with a probability generating function. Kauffman has also found a description (different from the one given here) of this evaluation of F(a,z).
