Description

This paper gives a self-contained exposition of the basic structure of quantum link invariants as state summations for a vacuum-vacuum scattering amplitude. Models of Vaughan Jones are expressed in this context. A simple proof is given that an important subset of these invariants are built from Vassiliev invariants of finite type
