Gauss diagram formulae for Vassiliev invariants from Kauffman polynomial
Abstract: Gauss diagram formula is a diagrammatical approach to express Vassiliev invariants.
In this talk, we will discuss how to derive Gauss diagram formulae from Kauffman polynomial based on a state model,
how to find arrow diagram identities and compare the Gauss diagram formulae from Kauffman polynomial
with the previous formulae given by Polyak, Viro and Chmutov.
