Kricker) about the structure of Kontsevich integral of a knot. We describe its value in terms of the generating functions for the numbers of external edges attached to closed 3-valent diagrams. We conjecture that these functions are rational functions of the exponentials of their arguments, their denominators being the powers of the Alexander-Conway polynomial. This conjecture implies the existence of an expansion of a colored Jones (HOMFLY) polynomial in powers of q-1 whose coefficients are rational functions of q^color. We show how to derive the first Kontsevich integral polynomial associated to the theta-graph from the rational expansion of the colored SU(3) Jones polynomial.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-06-12T19:30:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M27" ], "keywords": [ "colored jones polynomial", "rationality conjecture", "implications", "rational functions", "first kontsevich integral polynomial" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 35, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2001math......6097R" } } }
